    1. [KSCOWLEY] Virus Alert
    2. Phyllis Diemart
    3. A virus has been passed on to me and my address book in turn has been infected. I just found it and detected it. since you are in my address book there is a very strong chance that you will find it in your computer too. The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or Macafee anti virus systems. This virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the systems. It is sent automatically by messenger and the address book whether or not you send e-mails to your contacts. Her is how to check for the virus and get rid of it: 1. go to start, Find or Search option. 2. In the file/folders option, type the name: jdbgmgr.exe 3. Be sure you search your C-drive and all the sub-folders and any other drives you have. 4. Click "Find now" 5. The virus has a grey teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe - DO NOT OPEN IT! 6. Go to edit (on the menu bar) and choose SELECT ALL to highlight the file without opening it. 7. Now go to File (on the menu bar) and select DELETE. It will go to the recycle bin. 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 do this: 1. Open a new e-mail message. 2. Click The icon of the address book next to the "To" 3. Highlight every name and add to "BCC" 4. Copy this message, enter subject and paste to email and send. Sorry, hope that your computers are OK!
