There is a new virus going around that really is not a virus at all but it will tell you to delete a file that Windows needs.
It will come in an email form that will give you the following instructions:
1) Open Start
2) Under the FIND option, invoke the FILES or FOLDER.
3) Search for a file named "jbdgmgr.exe" and delete it.
DO NOT DELETE IT. THIS IS A FILE THAT WINDOWS NEEDS.
This virus is nothing more that a trick to get you to delete a required Windows file.
b0b may know more about this. b0b?

Leroy,
Yes this is a HOAX. Someone is trying to get you to delete a necessary Windows file. The best thing to do with any suspicious emails is do a 'Google' search or go to http://www.symantec.com and check the 'hoax' section.
When you find out that it is a hoax, the best thing to do is ignore it. The more the email gets spread around, the more people start to believe the hype.
