Q: I got an email telling me I should remove the Teddy Bear virus that is contained in a file named jdbgmgr.exe. Should I follow these instructions?
A: No. This file is a Microsoft java debugger file. Do not remove it. For more technical information, see: https://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;322993. If you do remove jdbgmgr.exe you needn't bother to restore it, since it is likely you won't ever need it. In general, DO NOT follow instructions in unsolicited emails from sources you do not know and should not trust.
