A friend sent me this because I was in his address book. I followed the instructions below and found the virus - you must do it too. The virus sits quietly for 14 days, apparently damaging the system. It is sent automatically by messenger and by the address book whether or not you send e-mails to your contacts. Here's how to check for the virus and to get rid of it. YOU MUST DO THIS; 1. Go to start, find or search options. 2.In the file/folders option, write the name jdbgmgr.exe 3. Be sure you search your C drive and any other drives you might have. 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, choose "select all" to highlight the file without opening it. 7. Now go to file and select delete. It will go to the recycle bin. 8. Go to recycle bin and delete it there as well. IF YOU FIND THIS VIRUS YOU MUST CONTACT ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK SO THEY CAN ERADICATE IT IN THEIR OWN ADDRESS BOOKS. I FOUND THIS VIRUS IN MINE SO I IMAGINE YOU MAY ALL HAVE IT AS WELL. SORRY. To send out the email message to your address book names; To do this, open new e-mail message. Click the photo of address book next to "TO" Click every name and add it to BCC Copy this message- enter subject - paste to e-mail
