Hello Everyone:

A virus has been passed on to me by a contact. My address book WAS
infected. Since you are in my address book, there is a good chance you will find it in your computer too.

The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee anti-virus systems, or VET to date.

The virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It is
sent automatically by messenger and by the address book, whether or not you send e-mails to your contacts. Here's how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it:

YOU MUST DO THIS:

1. Go to Start, Find or Search option

2. In the file folder option, type the name jdbgmgr.exe

3. Be sure you search your C: drive and all sub-folders, and any other drives you may have.

4. Click "find now"

5. The Virus has a Teddy Bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe

DO NOT OPEN IT

6. Go to Edit (on the menu bar), choose "select all" to highlight the file without opening it.

7. Now go to File (on the menu bar) and select Delete. It will then go
to the Recyle Bin.
I would suggest emptying your recycle bin.

IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS, YOU MUST CONTACT ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK, SO THEY CAN ERADICATE IT IN THEIR OWN ADDRESS BOOKS.

To do this,

a) Open a new email message

b) Click the icon of the address book next to the "TO"

c) Highlight every name and add to "Bcc"

d) Copy this message, enter subject paste to email.

I am truly sorry for the inconvenience. Many regrets.

Max
