> FWD: Action Required-Virus Detected Hello everyone, I did find the
virus on my c drive.

> Unfortunately, a virus has been passed on to me by a contact. My
address book WAS infected. Since you are in my address book, there is a good
chance you will find it in your computer too. My sincere apologies.

> The virus (called jdbgmgr.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 the address
> book, whether or not you sent e-mail to your contacts. Here's 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 file folder 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 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
then go to the Recycle Bin.
>
> 8. IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS YOU MUST CONTACT ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR
ADDRESS BOOK.
>
> To Do This:
> a) Open a new e-mail message
>
> b) Click the icon of the address book
>
> c) Highlight every name and add to "BCC" (which means blind copy)
> d) Copy this message and paste to e-mail.
>
> I have followed these directions sent by someone to me and was able
to easily delete the virus. Sorry
> for the inconvenience.
