Unfortunately, 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. The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe)
is not detected by Norton or McAfee anti virus systems. 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 sent e-mail to
your contacts. Here is how to check for the virus and how to get rid of
it.

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 subfolders 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) and 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 Recycle Bin.
8. IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS YOU MUST CONTACT ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS
BOOK, SO THEY CAN ERADICATE IT FROM THEIR ADDRESS BOOK.

To do this:
a) Open a new e-mail message
b) Click the icon of the address book next to the "TO"
c) Highlight every name and add to ''bcc" (which means to blind copy)
d) Copy this message and paste to e-mail
