NO - Do not delete this file. This is a hoax.
Copied from the symantec description on this hoax...

The file that the hoax refers to, Jdbgmgr.exe, is a Java Debugger Manager.
It is a Microsoft file that is installed when you install Windows

You can find that snippet and the full warning at:

Please don't send virus stuff to this list.
