Please...DON'T follow the "removal instructions" unless you are SURE this 
file is infected.
This is a HOAX that tries to persuade you to delete a legitimate Windows 
file from your computer. The file that the hoax refers to, Jdbgmgr.exe, is 
a Java Debugger Manager. It is a Microsoft file that is installed when you 
install Windows.
It has a teddy bear icon as described in the hoax.
For more info (or to reinstall the file if you've already deleted it):
