Subject: Teddy Bear Virus: Read Immediately



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 first name on list, hold down "Shift" key while clicking last name on list to select WHOLE list and add all to "BCC" (blind copy)
4. Copy this message, paste to e-mail, enter subject and send

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