To everyone in my address book. I just found out I had a virus that is automaticallypassed through e-mail address books. I found it in my C drive. Since you a re in my address book, you will probably find it in your computer too. The virus is called jdbgm.exe and is not detected by Norton or MacAfee antivirus systems. The virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by "messenger" and by address book whether or not you sent an e-mail to your contacts. Here is how to check for the vius and get rid of it. 1. Go to Start, then click your "find" or "search" options. 2. In the folder option type the name jdbgm. 3. Be sure to search your C drive (this is where I found it) all subfolders and other drives you may have. 4. Click "find now" 5. The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe Don't open it! 6. Go to Edit (on the main menu) bar and choose "select all" to highlight the file without opening it. 7. Now to the file (on the menu bar) select delete. The virus will then go to the recycle bin. If you find the virus you must contact all the people in your address book. To do this: 1. open a new e-mail message 2. click the icon address book 3. High light every name and add to "Bcc" 4. Copy this mesage and paste all to e-mail. This virus was accidently passed on to me and I may have passed it on to you. Please check your computer as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience David

David, You'd been taken in by a hoax (see below). This file should not be deleted for it is a legitimate Windows program!!! Bettye ====================================== Jdbgmgr.exe file hoax Reported on: April 12, 2002 Last Updated on: December 03, 2003 10:25:09 AM Symantec Security Response encourages you to ignore any messages regarding this hoax. It is harmless and is intended only to cause unwarranted concern. Type: Hoax This hoax, like the SULFNBK.EXE Warning hoax, tries to encourage you to delete a legitimate Windows file from your computer. Jdbgmgr.exe is the file to which the hoax refers, and it is the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java. The Jdbgmgr.exe file may be installed when you install Windows. Notes: Some versions of this hoax take advantage of an actual threat, the [email protected] worm. The Jdbgmgr.exe file mentioned in the hoax has a bear icon. The actual [email protected] worm file is a .exe file and does not have a bear icon. Other versions of this hoax have slightly different ways in which they refer to the Jdbgmgr.exe file, usually in the subject of the email message.
