Dear all,
I have just been advised [today] by a friend of mine that a virus infected their address book which means my address book WAS infected, too. 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) 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 is how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it; I did it for mine - found it and deleted it:
YOU MUST DO THIS:
1. Go to "Start" > Find or Search option
2. In the file Folder option, 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"
5. The virus has a Teddy Bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe: DO NOT OPEN IT!
6. Go to Edit (on menu bar), 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. 

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 it to "BCC" [i.e. you click on BCC each time you've highlighted one]
d) Copy this message, enter subject paste to e-mail. 

Sorry for the inconvenience.
