I'm sorry about this but you might need to do this. We just recently received a message from one of our friends in our address book. Their address book had been infected by a virus and it was passed on to our computer. Our address book, in turn, had been infected. The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee anit-virus systems. The virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It's sent automatically by the messenger and by the Address Book, whether or not you sent emails to your contacts. I have checked, found it, and deleted it. Here's how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it: DO THIS 1. Go to Start, Find, or Search option 2. In the Files/Folder option, write the name jdbgmr.exe 3. Be sure you search the C drive 4. Click "find now" 5. The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe DO NOT OPEN IT! 6. Right click and delete it. It will then go to the Recycle Bin 7. Go to the Recycle Bin and delete it there as well. IMPORTANT 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. Sorry about this, I am sure that everyone in the address book will have it. I did find this on my computer so I am sure that you will too. You will need to contact everyone in your address book whether or not you have sent them e-mai recently or not. Sorry about this thought that you should know. Zane Jacobson

I just check with McAfee and this virus is listed as an hoax. You can go online to McAfee and they have a Virus hoax page to help with this sort of thing.
