==================================================

I received this from a person on one of out lists. It got past our Norton Anti Virus. I did a scan and found it on my system. Do check it out ON ALL YOUR DRIVES.!!

PLEASE CHECK YOUR SYSTEM FOR THIS VIRUS and DELETE IT.

The virus is called jdbgmgr.exe and 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 the messenger and by the Address Book, whether or not you sent emails to your contacts. I have checked, and found it, and deleted it. here's how to check for the virus and get rid of it.

DO THIS TO DELETE VIRUS:

>1. Go to Start, Find, or Search option.

>2. In the files/folder option, write the name jdbgmgr.exe

>3. Be sure you search your C-Drive

>4. Click "find now"

>5. The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe.

> DO NOT OPEN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>6. RIGHT CLICK AND DELETE IT.

>7. Go to the Recycle Bin and delete it there as well.

>IMPORTANT -

>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.
