This is NOT A VIRUS. The hoax email can be considered a virus in that it
makes you damage your system by deleting a file (jdbgmgr.exe) that Windows
needs. Please do not delete this file. I can provide documentation if you
would like. Your protection did not detect a virus because there was none.
Don't feel bad, I was taken in by one of these myself last year, and spent
the next two weeks fixing the computers of friends who listened to me.
