I was infected by this "Teddy Bear" virus which was hidden in a message from my nephew. Please read the message below and follow the directions. I was able to locate the virus in my "C" drive and delete it by following the directions carefully. Apologies for the inconvenience. Peg Message from my nephew: I hate to tell you this, but I got a virus from being in someone's address book. Therefore, since you are in my address book, you apparently have gotten it too and it has infected your address book. It cannot be detected by Norton or McAfee Anti-Virus programs. It is sent automatically by messenger and by the address book, whether or not you send e-mail. It's not a big deal and it's really easy to take care of it. It won't take action for a week or two, but it only takes a second to erase it. So here are the instructions: 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'm really sorry about this. Pass along the message to those in your address books. Thanks!
