To All:
Please do not ignore this email. This virus landed on my hard disk via
another colleague (sorry for cross-posting) and I managed to delete it. I
suggest strongly you do so as well. Apologies for all the bother...

I have received a virus warning today from an Antipode contact, and
found this was in my system. Apologies. I have pasted the message I
received below.

Dear all
Apologies for cross-postings
Please do not ignore this e-mail.
I just received a message today from one of my friends in my Address
Book.
Their Address Book had 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 quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It's sent
automatically by the messenger and by the Address Book, whether or not
you
sent emails to your contacts. I have checked, found it, and deleted it,
for
ours it was dated 1998, presumably to prevent discovery. Here's how to
check for the virus and how to get rid of it:
DO THIS:
1. Go to start, Find or Search option.(Right hand click on "Start").
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 and chose "select all" to highlight the file without
opening
it.
7. Now go to file and select "delete". It will then go to the Recycle
Bin
8. Go to the Recycle Bin and delete it there as well.
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. SORRY ABOUT THIS.
I'M SURE EVERYONE IN MY ADDRESS BOOK WILL HAVE IT.
to do this open new 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 e-mail .... send .
