Several different versions of the message text have been seen, and in several languages (English, Spanish, French & German), but the gist of the message is always the same. It instructs you to do a search for a file called Jdbgmgr.exe. If found, you are instructed to delete it. You are also instructed to forward the warning to everyone in your Address Book. Jdbgmgr.exe is a Java Debugger Manager, and is included in every Windows installation. It is supposed to be there. DO NOT delete Jdbgmgr.exe. DO NOT forward the "warning" to anyone else. If you feel you must do something, then write back to the person who sent the warning, explaining that it is a hoax.
