Dear List Members,
Before you go spreading this type of rubbish, just go to
google and do a search on the file that you are being told to delete.
You might find, as I expected I would, that it is a hoax, or that it an
actual needed file and that people are talking about it in reference
to system performance/graphics/networking/etc etc, ie delete the file
and screw your system.

It always saddens me when I see Australians passing on this
type of tripe - I thought that after we invented the rotary lawn mower,
the Hills hoist, the esky and the wine cask that we would regard
ourselves as being technologically advanced enought to see through
these kinds of shallow hoaxes - come on Aussies lift your game.

Hi all
we received this so are doing the right thing!
.
I have just had a message warning us that we may have a sleeper virus
(called jdbgmgr.exe) infecting our address book. On checking we did
indeed find it.
This virus is not detected by normal antivirus software like McAfee or
Norton. It stays quiet for 14 days before damaging the system. The
virus is sent automatically by the Messenger and by the address book,
wether or not you sent e-mails to your contacts.
I checked, found and deleted it. Now it is your turn!!!
1. Go to Start, Find or Search Option
2. In the Files/Folder option , write the name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure to search in your C: drive
4. Clickfind 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 to the recycle bin)
7. Go to the recycle bin and delete it there as well, or empty the bin
IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS, LIKE I DID, YOU MUST CONTACT ALL THE PEOPLE IN
YOUR ADDRESS BOOK WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
