Sorry, but this is a very old hoax...check it out before following the
instructions. I "fell for this" a couple years ago.

> Apparently my system was infected with a virus named jdbgmgr.exe. (It
has a teddy bear icon beside the file name.) Since my Address Book may have
been infected, and you are in my Address Book, there is a chance you may
find it in your computer too. The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected
by Norton or McAfee antivirus systems. The virus sits quietly for 14 days
before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by messenger and by
the Address Book, whether or not you sent email to your contacts.

DO NOT OPEN IT!

file(s) without opening it.

the Recycle Bin. Then empty your Recycle Bin.

message, then go to the Edit menu and Click Copy.

> b. Open a new email message

> c. Click the icon of the Address Book next to the "TO"

> d. Highlight every name in your Address Book, then "BCC" (which means
blind copy)
