Ignore Ed Henricks' message - the file he refers to is the java debug manager.

I just found out that I received a virus from someone that has
my name in their e-mail address book. As a result, my address book on which
I have your email address has also been infected
by a virus (called jdbgmgr.exe).

This virus is not detected by Norton or McAfee antivirus systems.

The virus stays quiet for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent
automatically by the Messenger and by the address book, whether or not I
have sent e-mails recently to you.

I have found and deleted it. Now it's your turn.

1. Go to Start, Find or Search option
2. In the files/folder option, write the name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure you search in your C: drive
4. Click "find now"
5. The virus has a little bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe DO NOT
OPEN IT
6. Right click and delete it (it will then go the Recycle Bin)
7. Go to the Recycle Bin and delete it there as well, or empty the bin

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
