Hi

THIS IS NOT A JOKE - PLEASE READ AND ACTION

I just received a message from one of my colleagues in my address book. Their address book had been infected with a virus and it was passed on to my computer. My address book in turn had been infected. The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is NOT detected by Norton or McAfee anit-virus systems.

The virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It's sent automatically by the messenger and by the Address Book whether or not you sent emails to your contacts.

I have checked for it, found it and deleted it.

Here's how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it.

DO THIS

1 Go to Start; Find or Search option
2 In the files/folder option, write the name jdbgmgr.exe
3 Be sure you search the C:drive
4 Click "find now"
5 The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe DO NOT OPEN IT WHATEVER YOU DO!
6 Right click and delete it. It will then go in the Recycle bin
7 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 THAT THEY TOO CAN ERADICATE IT IN THEIR OWN ADDRESS BOOK.

Regards

Sara
