[FWDLK] It's a HOAX, not a virus



=========================================================
Brian - I hope you haven't deleted jdbmgr.exe.  This is a necessary
application.  The message you were sent is a hoax and does the rounds
regularly.  The same goes for everyone else:  do NOT delete this file.

Hello everyone,

I received an email from a friend who said their computer
was infected by a virus and it was sent out to everyone in
their address book.  I checked my computer and the virus was
in my hard "C" drive and back up drives.  Following is what
I was told to do to find and get rid of it: (I have no idea
what it does but since it was on my PC it's better to be
safe than sorry, so I removed it)

"My address book has been infected with a virus and as a
result so is yours because your address was in my book.  The
virus is called jdbgmgr.exe.  It sits quietly for 14 days
before damaging the system.  It is sent automatically by
messenger and by your address book, whether you send e mails
or not.  To get rid of it:

1.  Go to Start, then Find or Search
2.  In File/Folders write the name jdbgmgr.exe
3.  Be sure to search in your "C" drive and any other drives
on your computer
4.  Click Find or Search
5.  The virus has a teddy bear logo with the name
jdbgmgr.exe
6.  DO NOT OPEN
7.  Right click and delete the file
8.  Go to the recycle bin and delete it there also
9.  IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS YOU MUST CONTACT EVERYONE IN YOUR
ADDRESS BOOK

We're sorry if this affected your computer.
