I am very sorry but I didn't realize that this message is a HOAX.
If you. This is a false warning.

Unfortunately if you are a Java developer and deleted the jdbgmgr.exe file
that will have bad consequences. See
http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99436

"AVERT HOAX Notice!!
McAfee AVERT Labs would like to inform you of a new email HOAX.
This email message is just a HOAX. Although, the JDBGMGR.EXE file may
become infected by a number of valid viruses (most commonly
W32/Magistr@MM), the details of this HOAX message are not based on actual
events.
We are advising users who receive the email to delete the message and DO
NOT pass it on as this is how an email HOAX propagates.
JDBGMGR.EXE is the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java. This application
is only useful for Java developers and does not need to be restored on
other user's systems. In the event that this file has already been deleted
and you need to restore it, see the Removal Instructions for instructions."

Again I apologize, I don't usually get "caught" in these hoaxes.
