I was notified yesterday by someone whose address book
>I am in that she
>had found a virus that someone had attached to her
>computer. It supposedly attaches to everyone in her
>address book and her C drive.
>
>This morning I did find that virus on my C drive.
>Therefore, since you are in my address book, you will
>probably find it in your computer too. The virus
>(called jdbg.exe) 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 'messenger' and by address book,
>whether or not you've sent e-mail to your contacts.
>Here is how to check for the virus and how to get rid
>of it.
>
>PLEASE DO THIS ASAP (it will only take a minute)
>
>1. Go to Start, and then click your 'Find' or 'Search'
>option
>
>2. In the folder option, type the name... jdbgm
>. Be sure to search your C Drive and all the folders
>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. If you find the virus, you must
>contact all the people in your Address Book so that
>they may eradicate the virus from their own address
>books. To do this:
>
>1. Open a new e-mail message
>
>2. click the icon Address Book next to 'TO'
>
>3. Highlight every name and add to BCC
>
>4. Copy this message and paste
