DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE. THIS IS A HOAX.
Speak to your I.T department about it.
A Sneaky Mail.
I almost deleted the file and forwarded it on myself.
Thought I better mention it to IT First.
No Virus software can catch this one as the user Messes up his own system, then forwards it on totally Unsuspectingly.

I have just received a message today from one of my friends in my
address book. Their address book has been infected by a virus and it
was passed on to my computer. My address book, in turn, has been
infected. The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or
McAfee anit-virus systems. The virus sits quietly for 14 days before
damaging the system it’s sent automatically by the messenger and by
the
address book, whether or not you sent emails to your contacts.
I have checked, found it and deleted it. Here’s how to check for
the
virus and how to get rid of it.
DO THIS:
1. Go to start, Find or Search option.
2. In the files/folder option, write the name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure you search your C: drive
4. click “find now”
5. the virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe
DO NOT OPEN IT
6. Right click and delete it. It will then go to the Recycle Bin
7. 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.
