Cary, welcome to the age of the virus hoax ! This is actually a common
hoax, you can read more about it at
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html
The message very likely was written by your friend (or at least forwarded by
him); there is no actual virus. jdbgmgr.exe is a normal part of Windoze.
Congratulations on your critical thinking !!
