chance you will find it in your computer too.
I followed the directions below and eradicated the virus easily.
Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.
The Virus called (jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee
anti-virus systems. the virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging

5. the virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe
DO NOT OPEN IT
6. Go to Edit (on the menu bar), choose "select all" to highlight the
file
without opening it.
