To all, Sorry for the duplicate and triplicate emails on this virus, however I got it on both computers and it is not picked up by my Norton antivirus software. It's easily removed by the instructions below and be sure to forward an email to all in your address book about this virus. I'll bet this is clogging the email airways! Again, I apologize for the inconvenience.

My address book may be in turn infected. Since you are in my address book, there is a good chance you may find it in your computer too. The virus called jdbgmgr.exe is not detected by Norton or McAfee anti-virus systems. The virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by messenger and by the address book, whether or not you sent e-mails to your contacts. Here is how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it. YOU MUST DO THIS: 1.Go to Start, Find or Search option 2. In the filefolders option, type the name jdbgmgr.exe 3. Be sure you search your C:drive and all subfolders and any other drives you may 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 (on menu bar), choose "select all" to highlight the file without opening it 7. Now go to File (on menu bar) and select Delete. It will go into the recylce bin IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS, YOU MUST CONTACT ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK SO THAT THEY CAN ERADICATE IT. To do this: 1. Open a new email message 2. Click the icon of the address book next to the @"TO" 3. Highlight every name and add to the "BCC" 4. Copy this message...enter subject...paste to email...send
