Hi

I am told I have received a virus that is automatically passed through e-mail address books and having checked it was in my c-drive. Since you are in my address book you will probably find it in your address book too. The virus called jbdg.exe is not detected by Norton or McAfee antivirus systems.

I am told it sits quietly for 14 days before damaging your system. it is sent automatically by messenger and address book, whether or not you have sent an 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.

Go to Start, then click your Find or Search option.
In the folder option type the name jdbgm.
Be sure to search your C-drive and all the subdirectories, folders and any other drives you may have.
Click "find now"
The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name "jdbgmgr.exe" DO NOT OPEN IT.
Go to edit (on the menu bar) and select Delete or Edit-Select All then File - delete. It will then go to the recycle bin.

If you find the virus you should contact all the people in your address book so they may eradicate the virus from their own address book

To do this
Open a new e-mail message
Click the icon address book next to To
Highlight every name and add to BCC
Copy this message and paste
