Subject: A Real Virus, and my apology - This can be serious


Hi Everybody--

I just received a message tonite from one of my friends in my Address
Book.  Their address book had been infected by a virus and
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 quitely for 14 days before
damaging the system.  It's sent automatically by the messenger and by
the address book, whether or not you sent e-mails to your
contacts.

I have checked my computer, found it, and deleted it.  I don't know what
the virus does or whether your computer has been
infected.

However, 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 your C: drive
4. click "find now"
5. The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe
DO NOT OPEN IT
6.  Right click and delete it.  It will then go to 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 they can eradicate it in their own address books.
Sorry about this.

David
