Sorry about this everyone!
Unfortunately, a virus has been passed on to us by a contact. My address

book WAS infected. Since you are in my address book, there is a chance
you got it too. The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) CANNOT be detected by
Norton or McAfee antivirus systems. The virus 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 e-mails to your contacts. It
is transferred without an "attachment" file. Here's how to check for the
virus and get rid of it: YOU MUST DO THIS: 1. Go to start, Find, or
search option. 2. In the file folder option, type the name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure you search your C: drive and all sub 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 to
the Recycle bin. 8. 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. To do this:
a) open a new e-mail message
b) click the icon of the address book next to the TO:
c) highlight every name and add to "BCC" (which means blind copy) Do not

put
in the TO box because that is the way othe people get infected by
viruses
d) copy this message and paste it to e-mail
