Anne and everyone,
This is a hoax (not from Anne, mind you) that has circulated for some time.
Please do not delete your little bear. He is for either windows or word, I
forget which and you need to have him.

Hi Everybody
I was given a printed copy of this email and found the virus on my C
Drive. You
are all in my address book so please check your computers.
"I just found out I received a virus that automatically is passed through
email address books. Since you are in my address book, you will probably
find it in your computer too. The virus [called jdbg.exe] is not detected
by Norton or McAfee Anti-Virus systems. The virus sits quietly for 14 days
before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by 'messenger' and by
address book, whether or not you sent e-mail to your contacts.
Here is how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it.
PLEASE DO THIS ASAP:
1. Go to Start, then click your 'Find' or 'Search' option
2. In the folder option, type the name... jdbgm
3. Be sure to search your C Drive and all the 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 go
to the recycle bin. If you find the virus, you must
contact all the people in your Address Book so that they may
eradicate the virus from their own address books.
TO DO THIS;
1. Open a new e-mail message.
2. Click the icon Address Book or Contacts next to 'TO'
3. Highlight every name and add to "BCC"
4. Copy this message and paste to e-mail.
I know most of you will know how to deal with this but I didn't and maybe
somebody else wont. I had no idea that I had received the virus and I
thought I was well protected!! Good Luck.
Anne
