| 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
