This even got through Netscape AND McAfee, Sorry for the problem.


Sorry folks for any inconvenience- but thought you should know this...
A virus was sent to me through my E-Mail...it is known as the teddy virus.
Since you are in my address book, there is a good chance you will find 
it in your computer too.The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) it is not 
detected by Norton or McAfee antivirus systems. The virus sits quietly 
for 14 days before damaging the systems. It is sent automatically by 
messenger and by the addressbook, whether or not you sent E-Mail to your 
contacts.
Here's how you check for the virus and how to get rid of it:
YOU MUST DO THIS!
1. Go to start. Click on the find or search option.
2. Click on the files and folders option. Type in the name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure you search your C: drive and all subfolders and any other 
drivers you may have.
4. Click "find now" or "search"
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
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)
d) Copy this message and paste to E-Mail
