THIS IS NO JOKE!!!
EVERYONE !!
PLEASE READ THIS & DO THE FOLLOWING IMMEDIATELY!! JAN

Subject: Virus: Read Immediately


I just received a message from a contact who told me that their address book
had been infected by a virus which was possibly passed on to everyone in her
address book. I did what she instructed me to do and found that my computer
did have the virus described. I followed her instructions and deleted
it, but it has probably been passed on to everyone in my address book (which
means you). I am therefore giving you the exact instructions and information
she gave me, and I urge you to follow them and get rid of the virus. Seems
it lays dormant for 14 days, so there is plenty of time. The message
follows:

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

YOU MUST DO THIS:

1. Go to Start, Find, or Search option
2. In the files/folders option, write the name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure you search your C drive 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. Choose "Select All" to highlight the file without
opening
it
7. Now go to File and select Delete. It will then go to the recycle
bin.
8. Go to recycle bin and delete it there as well.

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 send this message to everyone in your address book:

1. Open a new e-mail message
2. Click the photo of address book next to 'TO'
3. Click every name and add it to "BCC" (blind copy)
4. Copy this message, paste to a-mail, enter subject and send

PLEASE CHECK YOUR DIRECTORY EVERY DAY FOR THIS VIRUS FOR AWHILE....
UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY KILLED & GONE!
