If memory serves me, I think that this is a hoax e-mail. The only thing you deleted was a debugging program for Java. Here's the Norton Linkage: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html

This would be a great page to bookmark for everyone if you're concerned about an e-mail or other types of messages you get on your PC to check if it's a legitimate threat.
