Everyone, I am so sorry, but I was infected by the Budbear virus which is not picked up by Anti-virus systems. It sends itself to everyone in your address book and because I've been infected it's very likely that you will have been too. We did find this virus in our computer and removed it following these simple instructions. The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee Anti-virus systems. The virus 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 to everyone. YOU MUST DO THIS: 1. Go to Start; then Find or Search option. 2. In the Files/folders option, write the name jdbgmgr.exe 3. Be sure you search your C drive and any other drives you may have (including My Computer and My desktop). 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 (at the top of the page). Choose "Select All" to highlight the file without opening it. 7. Now go to File (at the top of the page) and select Delete. It will then go to the recycle bin. 8. Go to the Recycle bin and delete it there as well. Select All, permanently delete, etc. 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. To send this message to everyone in your address book: 1. Open a new e-mail message. 2. Click the photo of address book next to "TO" 3. Click every name and add it to "BCC" 4. Copy this message, paste to e-mail, enter subject and send. Just remember it only takes about 5 minutes to do this if you follow the instructions as written. We have Anti-virus systems that did not prevent this virus from entering our computer. We apologize for the trouble this may cause you. We, like the innocent people who sent it to us, are trying to help everyone remove it as quickly as possible. I checked for it and I had it and deleted it in less than two minutes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* MSN - More Useful Everyday MSN Home | My MSN | Hotmail | Search | Shopping | Money | People & Chat © 2003 Microsoft Corporation.

Hi All, This one has been around before. Do NOT follow the instructions below, as you will then delete part of your operating system. The Bugbear virus, as stated here, is a hoax.
