Possible Virus

The message below was sent to me last night. I don't know if this is real or
not but I'm taking no chances.  I also found this file on my c:drive.

Hi everyone.   I am sorry about this but just follow the instructions
to make sure everything is fine.  A virus was passed on to me by a contact
and my address book WAS infected. Since you're in my
address book, there's a good chance you will find it
in your computer too.
>The virus is called jdbgmgr.exe and 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 the address
book, whether or not you sent Emails to your contacts.

>Here's how to check for the virus and how to get rid
of it: YOU MUST DO THIS:
>1. Go to start, Find or Search options
>2. In the file "folder options, 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" 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 "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. Empty your Recycle Bin.
>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:
>1. Open a new email message
>2. Click the icon of the address book
>3. Highlight every name and add it to "BCC"
>4. Copy this message and paste to email.
>Sorry again-but luckily this is a simple fix!
>

>I Found It on my C: drive!
