Don't panic! It's a hoax. Go to&nbsp; <a href="http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html">Symantec
Virus Research Center</a> for more info. DO NOT DELETE THE FILE!!! It is
a legitimate and sometimes useful Windows file.

<blockquote TYPE=CITE>Subject: A Real Virus, and my apology - This can
be serious
<p>Hi Everybody--
<p>I just received a message tonite from one of my friends in my Address
<br>Book.&nbsp; Their address book had been infected by a virus and
<br>it was passed on to my computer.&nbsp; My address book, in turn, has
been
<br>infected.
<p>The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee
<br>anti-virus systems.&nbsp; The virus sits quitely for 14 days before
<br>damaging the system.&nbsp; It's sent automatically by the messenger
and by
<br>the address book, whether or not you sent e-mails to your
<br>contacts.
<p>I have checked my computer, found it, and deleted it.&nbsp; I don't
know what
<br>the virus does or whether your computer has been
<br>infected.
<p>However, here's how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it.
<p>DO THIS:
<br>1. Go to start, Find or Search option.
<br>2. In the files/folder option, write the name jdbgmgr.exe
<br>3. Be sure you search your C: drive
<br>4. click "find now"
<br>5. The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe
<br>DO NOT OPEN IT
<br>6.&nbsp; Right click and delete it.&nbsp; It will then go to the Recycle
Bin.
<br>7.&nbsp; Go to the Recycle Bin and delete it there as well.
<p>If you find the virus, you must contact all the people in your address
<br>book so they can eradicate it in their own address books.
<br>Sorry about this.
<p>David
