that file you got is a hoax: jdbmgr.exe (with the little bear icon is the java manager thing) and not a virus. do not delete it, it's safe.
Some morons just like to send fake virusses across the web to make users nuts.
do not worry but keep watching for real ones !!

Tip of the day:
TheBat!
This is an email program, that you actually pay for. And it is worth it. A lot of vira are hidden in html code. As you probably know, a lot of emails are send in html. I mayde a virus check some time ago. I had had a haptime virus for a looong time without activating it. Some of the nice things about TheBat! are, that you can choose wich file types it may open automaticaly, wich it may open when you ask it to, and wich you may only save to disk (and open them outside the program). Emails written in HTML are not the same, when viewed without HTML. To say it the least - they are ofte quite ugly. But that is my choise - I do not view the HTML part of the emails. Also TheBat! does not use the microsoft adress-book, wich most vira are designed to use for spredding themselves. A bad part about TheBat! is a quite writing feature
You can't have it all, it seams, but you can have TheBat! for free for 30days. Before you recieve emails the first time, make shure to enter the account options and do, so that it does not delete recieved mail on the server. This way, if you regret using TheBat! all you emails will still be there for you to fetch with another program.
