Dear Recipiants of this email,
I to-day received the letter
below from someone I know. I found the `programme` on my computer and have
deleted it. I am passing this on to everyone in my address book, some of
you will be suprised to hear from me. Best wishes, Ruth Jopling.



Hi everyone

Just got back off holiday and received this message
about a virus - it
isn't
a hoax so please read the message below and follow the
instructions.




Dear All,
my Fathers Address Book had been infected by a virus
and I have found
that
it was passed on to my computer. My Address Book, in
turn, has been
infected. 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's sent automatically by
messenger and by the
Address Book, whether or not you sent emails to your
contacts.
(Original
message dated July 17, 2002).
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 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 the 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.
SORRY ABOUT THIS,
I'M
SURE EVERYONE IN MY ADDRESS BOOK WILL HAVE IT.
To do this open new e-mail message
Click the photo of Address Book next to "To"
Click every name and add it to BCC
Copy this message..enter subject..paste to
e-mail..send.
