If you have received the virus warning below, DO NOTHING !! it is a hoax,
Check either Norton or McAfee websites for further details
If you have deleted this file, you need to re-install it, - follow
instructions on Mc Afee or Norton websites
This wasted me a good 1/2 hour so please check the internet before sending
this sort of message (I learnt that the hard way!)
Thanks

Dear All,
I am very sorry about this.
A friend's Address Book has been infected by a virus and it was passed
on to my computer. My Address Book, in turn, has been infected. The
virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee anti
virus systems.The virus sits dormant for 14 days before damaging the
system. It's sent automatically by messenger and by the address book,
whether or not you sent e-mails to your contacts.
I FOUND 3 COPIES OF THIS FILE ON MY SYSTEM SO YOU'RE BOUND TO HAVE GOT
IT FROM ME .
Here is how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it. It does
work.
1. Go to Start, click on Find or Search option.
2. In the Files/Folder option, write the name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure you search your C: drive 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, choose "select all" to highlight the file without opening
it
7. Now go to file and select "delete". It will the go to the Recycle
Bin.
8. Go to the Recycle Bin and delete it there as well.
IF YOU FIND THIS VIRUS YOU MUST CONTACT ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS
BOOK SO THAT THEY CAN ERADICATE IT IN THEIR OWN ADDRESS BOOKS.
To do this open new open e-mail message
Click the photo of address book next to "To"
Click every name and add it to Bcc
Copy this message, enter Subject, paste to email, send.
Regards
Reesha Armstead
