sent

Our
> address book in turn has been infected.  Since you are in my address book,
> there is a chance you will find it in your computer too.  I followed the
> instructions below and eradicated the virus very easily. This virus
(called
> jdbgmgr.exe) is NOT detected by Norton or McAfee anti-virus systems.  It
> sits in the computer for 14 days before damaging the system.  Messenger
and
> the address book send it automatically, whether or not you send e-mails to
> your contacts. Here's how to check for the virus and get rid of it:
> 1. Go to Start, Find or Search option.
> 2. In files/folders option, type in jdbgmgr.exe.  Click:  "Find Now" or
> "Search Now".  Be sure you search your C-drive, any other drives you may
> have, and all sub-folders.
> 3. The virus has a gray teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe.  DO NOT
> OPEN IT!
> 4. Go to Edit (on the menu bar) and choose Select All to highlight the
file
> without opening it.
> 5. Go to File (on the menu bar) and select Delete.  It will send the file
to
> the Recycle Bin.
> 6. Go to the Recycle Bin and Delete it there as well. If you find the
virus,
> you should contact all of the people in your address book, so they can
> eradicate it in their own address books.  Remember, you need to do this
> quickly, because of the 14-day lag time. Apologies to all for being the
> conduit through which your computer may have become infected with this
> virus.
>
> If you wish to have confirmation of this, or have any questions, please
give
> me a call or reply to this email.
