    3. Hi Everyone, I'm so sorry to tell you that I received word that my address book was infected with a virus, and as a result so has yours because your address was in my address book. Kevin & I checked out our computers and found the bugger. The virus is called jdbgmgr.exe it can not be detected by Norton or McAfee anti-virus programs (which we have). It sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by messenger and by the address book, whether or not you send e-mails. Fortunately it is not difficult to delete it. To get rid of it: 1. Go to start, then Find or Search. 2. In Files/Folders, write the name jdbgmgr.exe 3. Be sure to search in your "C" drive 4. Click Find or search 5. The virus has a teddy bear logo with the name jdbgmgr.exe - DO NOT OPEN 6. RIGHT CLICK AND DELETE IT. 7. Go to the recycle bin and delete it there also. IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS YOU MUST CONTACT EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK. I found it in my computer so am passing this precautionary message on to all of you. Sorry, but it was very easy to get rid of. Ron & Conni Barker
