Either a virus, or a hoax (probably a hoax) - please read

[THEthief]

Hi everyone; I got a message from one of my Mom's contacts. This is what she said:

> Hi everyone, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but my address book has

Normally, I would delete those kind of 'Oh, delete this from your system immediately, it's a virus!! " messages; but this lady is a normal person, and the woman she got it from is also. So I checked the file properties, and it's a Microsoft Debugger Register for Java; I was perfectly willing to forget that message, and write it off as a dumb hoax, but I decided I may as well check w/you folks, to hear if you had heard of it - at the very least, it'll serve as a warning for people who get similiar messages.

So, I guess my question is, is jdbgmgr.exe a necessary file, and that email another one of those stupid hoaxes, or is it real?
Thanks.
