Probably a hoax because the file is microsofts java debugger manager (hence the filename). Unless you develop java programs you dont need the file, and it MAY be infected BY a virus, so if you want you can delete it. I bet its a hoax though..

Marco is right - the file is used by the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java and is part of the MS Internet Explorer. You will find the file on almost every computer.
If you are using Win98SE or higher (W2K, XP etc.) you will not be able to delete the file anyway; if you still can delete the file, it will be installed again on the next reboot, 'cause windwos thinks that the file is so important that it has to be checked on reboot ...
BUT if you receive a file named JDBGMGR.EXE with an e-mail and you open that file, it IS possible that your Computer is with a virus called "W32/Magistr "
further informations on the (very good ) Hoax-Site http://www.hoax-info.de (only in german...)
