This is a hoax.

see http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html

When I get this type of thing I always immediately go to www.google.com and
search for the names of the viruses and files before taking action.  It is
very unlikely that you will hear of a virus that Norton or McAfee cannot
detect.
