To everyone in my email address book, I just found out that I received a virus that automatically is passed through email address books.  Since you are in my address book, you will probably find it in your computer.  The virus called jdbg.exe is not detected by Norton or McAfee 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 email to your contacts.  Here is how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it. PLEASE DO THIS ASAP: Go to Start, then click your "find" or "search" option 1.    In the folder option, type the name: jdbgm 2.    Be sure to search your C drive 3.    Click "find now" 4.    The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe.  DO NOT OPEN IT!!!! 5.    Go to Edit (on the menu bar) and choose "select all" to highlight the file without opening it. 6.    Now go to the File ( on the menu bar) and select delete.  The virus will then go to the recycle bin. I then emptied my recycle bin. If you find the virus, you must contact all the people in your address book so that they may eradicate the virus from their own adds books.   To do this: Open a new email message 1.    Click the icon address book next to "To" 2.    Highlight every name and add to "bcc" 3.    Copy this message and paste to e-mail. Sorry for the problem.. Hope this has been a help in REDDS
