You should follow these instructions to check to see if you have it also. If you do also, simply follow the instructions pasted here and then send to your address book ASAP. Lloyd Wilson It has been brought to my attention that a computer here at the Service center had a virus named jdbgmgr.exe, which is neither detected by Norton nor McAfee. It was passed on to the rest of us and in return it was passed on to everyone in each of our address books. Unfortunately it was on my hard drive which means it is probable that is it on yours. Please check and verify if you have this virus. The virus attacks all of the contacts in your address book. This particular virus remains in your computer's system for 14 days before it erases your files. To delete and eliminate it completely, please do the following immediately: 1. Go to START -> FIND-> FILES OR FOLDERS 2. Under NAMED, type jdbgmgr.exe and click FIND NOW. Make sure it's looking in the C: drive. Please do not click it if it does comes up. 3. If the virus appears, the icon will be a teddy bear with the name jdbgmgr.exe. 4. Again, please do not open it...................Right click on it and DELETE it. It will then be sent to the recycle bin. 5. When it disappears, please go to the recycle bin and delete it from there as well!!! Empty the Recycle Bin under ----------File ->Empty Recycle Bin If you find the virus on your system, please send this message to all on your address book because the program automatically sends to everyone in your book. I am really sorry for the inconvenience. Hope everyone has a great day!!!! Joilynn R.
