Hey Bill this is one of those internet myths.  I checked on the
Norton websiite's virus encyclopedia and it tells all about it.
It said there is a virus that can infect that file, but the popular
anti-virus programs protect aainst it.

Anybody worried should visit their virus software's on-line
services and support site and read about it.  The jdbgmgr program
is only used by software developers working with Java, so if
most people were to delete it anyway, it wouldn't matter.

The Norton website even show the same warning email forwards
that you sent.
