We have a virus on our computer that seems to be sending
messages to people that are loaded into our address
book. We are hearing different stories in that we are
getting emails back from people in our address book
saying that we should remove a windows file but then we
heard from one party that that was the HOAX of the
virus. The goal of the virus was to get everybody to
delete a Windows file when in all actuality the windows
file had nothing to do with spreading the virus. The
file was named such

jdbgmgr.exe

it had a teddy bear icon in the subject box. Does
anybody have any experience with this virus. Please help
us, we are web neophytes but we don't want our ignorance
to be a source of spreading a virus. Thanks to all for
their cooperation.
