Attention all:  This is NOT a virus.  This is a part of the Windows
Operating System.  This email is a HOAX intended to get you to delete a
legitimate portion of Windows itself.  DO NOT follow it.

> and remove the virus, which Bill found in one of our files
> (Hard Drive C), and successfully deleted without opening.
> However, we, and in turn, you, should be able to avoid the
> damage, which takes 14 days to take effect.  But you must

> address book, with a NEW email (NOT forwarded).  We're still
> such novices, that we're not sure how to copy and paste
> Marge's email to ours, so we're retyping her email, with a

> "Sorry to give you this bad news.  My computer was infected
> with a virus.  My address book WAS infected.  Since you are
> in my address book, there is a good chance you will find it
> in your computer, too.  The virus is NOT detected by Norton
> or Mc-Affey antivirus systems.  It sits quietly for 14 days
> before damaging the system.  It is sent automatically by
> messenger and by the address book, whether or not you sent
> email to your contacts.
>
> Here is how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it:
>
> 1.  Go to START, select SEARCH or FIND.
>
> 2.  In the file folder option, type the name of the virus:
> jdbgmgr.exe
>
> 3.  Be sure to check your C drive and all subfolders and any
> other drives you may have.
>
> 4.  Click "Find Now"
>
> 5.  The virus has a teddy bear icon, with the name above:
> jdbgmgr.exe.  DO NOT OPEN IT!
>
> 6.  Go to EDIT (on the menu bar above) and choose SELECT ALL
> to highlight the file without opening it.
>
> 7.  Now go to FILE (also on the menu bar) and select DELETE.
> The virus will then go to the recycle bin.
>
> 8.  If you find the virus, YOU MUST CONTACT ALL THE PEOPLE IN
> YOUR ADDRESS BOOK WITH THIS MESSAGE.
>
> 9.  To do this:
>
> A)  Open a new email message.
>
> B)  Click the icon of the address book next to the "TO"
>
> C)  Highlight every name in the address book and add to "BCC"
> (blind copy).
>
> D)  Copy this message and paste email and send.
