I just got this email:
I'm very sorry but a virus has been passed on to me by a contact. My
address book has in turn been affected. Since you are in my address book
there is a good chance you
will find it in your computer too. I followed the direction below and
eradicated the virus easily. The virus (called jdbgmgr.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
the address book whether or not you sent e-mails to your contacts.
Here's how to check for the virus and get rid of it:
1. Go to Start, Find or Search option.
2. In the file/folders option, type the name: JDBGMGR.EXE
3. Be sure you 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). Choose "select all" to highlight the
file without opening it.
7. Now go to the File (on the menu bar) and select delete. It will then
go to the Recycle Bin.
8. Go to the Recycle Bin and delete it there as well.
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".
d) Copy this message...enter subject...paste to e-mail. send

Now I don't download shit but I did a search and sure enough I see this fucking teddybear....Does anybody know what's going on?
