Hi, I received an email from a relilable source telling me that I needed to identify and delete the file "jdbgmgr.exe" from my c:drive. I duely did so and also deleted it from my recycle bin.
Does anyone know what this file does and how I can recover from here.
Many thanks

Hoax virus - how do I recover?
Andrew on here has assured many of us fine folks that you do NOT need this file, unless you are doing some sort of java scripting and need to debug it.
If you really want it back (perhaps because it was a cute teddy bear), go here and check your particular OS

Hope this helps.

Oh I don't know. It's just that people don't understand "reliable". It means they won't *knowingly* give you bad advice.
Now unknowingly.... is another thing.

Go to Symantec.com and they tell you what the file does and how you can replace it. It's not a critical WINDOWS file.
