Hello everyone,
I received an email from a friend who
said their computer was infected by a virus and it was sent out to everyone
in their address book. I checked my computer and the virus was in
my hard "C" drive and back up drives. Following is what I was told
to do to find and get rid of it: (I have no idea what it does but since
it was on my PC it's better to be safe than sorry, so I removed it)

Subject: Virus you may have gotten from our address book
"My address book has been infected
with a virus and as a result so is yours because your address was in my
book. The virus is called jdbgmgr.exe.
It sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent
automatically by messenger and by your address book, whether you
send e mails or not. To get rid of it:
1. Go to Start, then Find or
Search
2. In File/Folders write the
name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure to search in your
"C" drive and any other drives on your computer
4. Click Find or Search
5. The virus has a teddy bear
logo with the name jdbgmgr.exe
6. DO NOT OPEN
7. Right click and delete the
file
8. Go to the recycle bin and
delete it there also
9. IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS YOU
MUST CONTACT EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK
We're sorry if this affected your computer.
