I did go to Symantec, and they do say it a hoax. After having just found 724 viruses (viri?) on my computer, as Eleanor knows, we are all a little jittery down here. Doesn't hurt to be too careful, believe me. BB ----- Original Message ----- From: Bette To: Betty Bunker ; Winnie Welch West ; Walter Rice ; W.

Weiner Subject: Fw: IMPORTANT: Address Book Virus I found it, so you probably have it, too. BB ----- Original Message ----- From: Ejddsalado@aol.com Sent: Friday, May 14, 2004 10:50 PM Subject: IMPORTANT: Address Book Virus Dear Friends and Family, Unfortunately, a virus has been passed to me through an address book virus which also infected my address book. Since you are in my address book, you may find it in yours too. The virus (called jdbg.exe or jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee AntiVirus. It sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by MESSENGER and ADDRESS BOOK whether or not you've sent email to your contacts. Basically, that means that you will pass it along unknowingly, as I did. I was sent this email and am now passing it on to you so that you can check for the virus and get rid of it. The process is simple and will take only a minute to complete. 1. Go to START, then click FIND or SEARCH option. 2. In the FOLDER option, type the name "jdbgmgr.exe." 3. Be sure to search your C Drive and all the sub folders, as well as any other drives you may have. 4. Click FIND NOW or SEARCH 5. The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name "jdbgmgr.exe." Don't open it. 6. Go to EDIT on the menu bar and choose SELECT ALL to highlight the file without opening it. 7. Go to FILE on the menu bar and select DELETE. This will send the virus to the RECYCLE BIN. If you find the virus, you must contact all the people in your ADDRESS BOOK so that they can eradicate the virus from their books. It will affect everyone. 1. Open a new email message. 2. Click the icon ADDRESS BOOK next to TO. 3. Highlight every name and add to BCC. 4. Copy this message and paste to email. I am sorry for the inconvenience this is causing all of us. Eleanor Dugger
