It's a hoax.  If you search in Google on [jdbgmgr.exe and virus], you'll 
get links back to the websites of most of the major Anit-Virus software 
vendors (Symantec, McAfee, etc.) like this one:

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html


Important details:

"The file that the hoax refers to, Jdbgmgr.exe, is the Microsoft Debugger
Registrar for Java. It may be installed when you install Windows."

"If you have already deleted the Jdbgmgr.exe file, in most cases, you do 
not have to reinstall it."

"CAUTION: Jdbgmgr.exe, like any file, can become infected by a virus. One 
virus in particular, W32.Efortune.31384_@_mm, targets this file. Norton 
AntiVirus has provided protection against W32.Efortune.31384_@_mm since May 
11, 2001."



In general, take anything that is forwarded to you in email with a grain 
of salt.  Items that *demand* to be forwarded are even more suspect.  Do a 
little bit of research on a search engine first.
