STOP!!!!!!!

Do not delete this file.

This is an urban legend type of thing that surfaces every once
in a while. The file exists. But it is a genuine Windows file that,
if deleted, will require that you reload Windows, which is not
a good thing (trust me, I've done it and don't care to do it
again.)

Take a look at http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/hoaxes/jdbgmgr.html
for additional information.

> Just received a message from a contact about a virus not, at the time,
detected by Norton or McAfee. It attaches to address book and sits quietly
for 14 days before damaging system. It's sent automatically to contacts in
address book, whether or not you send emails to your contacts. I got it and
got rid of it.

> 1. Go to Start, Find or Search option.

jdbgmgr.exe
> DO NOT OPEN IT
> 5. Right click on the file to highlight it
