2. Select Find/ In the file area write the name jdbgmgr.exe ( For some click search)
3. Be sure to search your "C" drive.

5. The Virus has a teddy bear logo with the name jdbgmgr.exe
6. Do Not OPEN it.
7.Right click and delete it.
8. Go to the recycle bin and delete.

Contact me if you have any problems.

It was in my system, so follow the instructions very carefully and do not open it but delete as the instructions say.
