I find that an even better way to check out things like this before
forwarding them willy-nilly is to use www.google.com and use, in this
instance, the suspect file name as the search term.
I just did that, and the first Web site listed in the matches for the
search term JDBGMGR.EXE (there were about 15,000) is the Symantec
page entitled
Symantec Security Response - Jdbgmgr.exe file hoax
All the best,
