I got this in email today. I don't know squat about these things. Is this legit?
Bad news. A virus was passed to me through an address book which has also
infected my address book. Since you are in my address book, you will
probably find it in your computer too. The virus (called jdbg.exe) is not
detected by Norton or MacAfee anti-virus systems. The virus sits quietly
for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by
messenger and by address book, whether or not you sent email to your
contacts. That means you will pass the virus along unknowingly, as I did.
I was sent this email, and am now passing it on so you know how to check for
the virus and how to get rid ot it. Please do this right now. It is very
simple and takes about 2 minutes.
l. Go to start, then click your (find) or (search) option
2. In the folder option, type the name: jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure to search your C. drive and all sub folders and any other drives
you might 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 and choose (select all) to highlight the
file with 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 this virus, you must contact all of the people in your address
book so that they may eradicate the virus from their own address books. To
do this:
1. Open a new email message
2. Click the address book icon or button
3. highlight every name and add to "bcc"
4. copy this message and paste to email
This will affect everyone in your address book so send it now. Sorry.
Some of you may get this from more than one person.
virus warnings from mail are never true, i pray that for i think 5 years now. dang people delete their complete operation system, if a stranger sends em a mail to do so hehe.

When you guys have an airplane question of need to know what makes them tick, you come to me. When I have a similiar question about computers, I come to you. I thought we had an agreement
No, it doesn't work that way. You must know everything about computers to use them. Now, the passengers on your computer don't need to know very much except that the hard drive can be used as a flotation device.
