I got the same thing Ian.  The jdbgmgr.exe "virus" is a hoax.  Go here
http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/cgi-bin/mfs/www/hoaxbusters/archive?link=http://
hoaxbusters.ciac.org/HBMalCode.shtml&file=/www/hoaxbusters/HBMalCode.shtml&l
ine=1573#mfs and read up about it.

An excerpt from the CIAC page:
"The jdbgmgr hoax is almost the same as the sulfnbk hoax in that it tells
you to delete a program that was installed with Windows. jdbmgr.exe is the
Java Debugger Manager and does have an icon that looks like a Teddy Bear. It
is not, normally, a virus. As with all executables, it is not impossible to
have a copy of jdbmgr.exe that is infected by a virus but that virus will be
detected by your antivirus software."

instructed me to look for 'JDBGMGR.EXE' and delete it, claiming that
'JDBGMGR.EXE' is a virus. Well, the message itself is a virus. 'JDBGMGR.EXE'
is part of Microsofts Java runtime.
