    1. [NCWARREN-L] PLEASE READ!!!!!VIRUS ALERT DON'T DELETE
    2. This email message came to me from someone in my email address book and must pass it along, sorry.  Please follow directions and check your systems.  I did and sure enough I found it.  I don't know how long ago it occurred. It really is easy to delete, but it must be done soon. The virus has been passed on to me by a contact. My address book in turn has been affected. Since you are in my address book, there is a chance that you will find it in your computer too. I followed the instructions below and eradicated the virus easily. The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or MacAfee anti-virus programs. This virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by messenger and the address book, whether or not you send emails to your contacts. Here's 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 may 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 the file (on the menu bar) and select delete. It will then go to the recycle bin. 8. Go to the recycle bin and delete it there as well. 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 e-mail. Then "Send". Remember, you have to do this very quickly. Sorry - I had to do this because I was in someone else's address bookCharles L. Revelle, III Revelle & Lee, L.L.P. 201 E. Main Street P. O.
