Dear Friends: A virus has been passed to my computer, infecting my address book. Since you're in my address book, there is a good possibility the virus will be found in your computer as well. I followed the directions below and eradicated it easily. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee anti-virus systems. Evidently, it sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by messenger and by address book, regardless of whether you sent emails to your contacts. Here's how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it: 1. Go to Start, choose Find or Search option; 2. In the file/folders option, type the name: jdbgmgr.exe; 3. Be sure to check your C drive and all sub-folders and any other drives on your computer; 4. Click "find now"; 5. The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe. DO NOT OPEN IT. 6. Go to "edit" (on the menu bar at the top of the page), choose "select all" to highlight the file without opening it; 7. Now go to "file" (on the menu bar at the top of the page), and select "delete". It will then go to the recycle bin; 8. Go to the recycle bin (on desktop) and DELETE it there as well. If you find the virus you must contact all the people in your address book so they can clean their own address books. To do this: 1. Open a new email message; 2. Click on the icon of the address book to the "to"; 3. Highlight every name and add to "bcc"; 4. Copy this message. Enter subject. Paste to email. Send. Again, sorry for the inconvenience. I hope all is well with you...and your computer We make our living by what we do. We make our life by what we give! ~LadyJ~
