I deleted the "jdbgmgr.exe," after I was informed it was a virus. I also emptied my waste basket. How do I restore these now that I know they are legit operations files? They were the files mented in a virus hoax that is currently going around...

You can run repair on IE or over-install IE to fix, as well as upgrading your Java will restore the file.

Repair IE5.xx

Control Panel - Add/Remove - highlight IE5 and Tools - click remove - click repair. If the repair option is greyed out or IE5 and Tools is not listed , use the over-install
technique
Over-install :

Close all in CTRL + ALT + DEL except explorer
Start - Run - IE5SETUP.EXE
(IE6SETUP.EXE if using IE6<- repair or over-install IE6 are choices given here.)
To over-install - Select Minimal/Custom - select ALL the parts you use,especially JAVA, over-install. Takes approx. 2 minutes normally, unless you added parts which need to download.

Java for IE6/5.5

You can just re-extract it from the cabs, go to the cabs and type the following:
extract /a win98_22.cab jdbgmgr.exe /l c:\windows\system and then hit enter. This will extract the file and put it back where it belongs.
