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

_Before_ following the above instructions! You'll note that that web page
contains much of the same text.

jdbgmgr.exe is _not_ a virus, and in fact, is the "Java Debugger Manager",
installed by Microsoft.

A reminder: never propagate virus warnings under any circumstances! One
should always get up to date (and reputable) virus information from an
Antiviral authority, such as McAfee or Symantec. (Or have they merged
these days?)
