Bear virus: Real or hoax? (Hoax sez CdK)

I just recieved the following e-mail...


I just got a message that I may have received a virus that automatically is passed through e-mail addresses. I DID find it on my computer even though I had not recently received mail from this person. You may find it in your computer too.. The virus (called jdbg.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee anti-virus ssytems. It sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent automatically my "messenger" and by address book, whether or not you sent e-mail to your contacts. Her is how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it. PLEASE DO THIS ASAP. IT WILL ONLY TAKE A FEW MINUTES.

1.GO TO start. then click "Find" or "Search" option.

2. In the folder option, type the name: jdbgmgr

3. Be sure to search your C Drive and all the up folders and any other drives you may have.

4. Click the "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 without opening it.

7. Now go to File (on the menu bar)select delete. It will then go to the recycle bin which you will empty,

If you find the virus, you must contact all 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 e-mail message.

2. Click the icon: Address book next to TO

3. Highlight every name and add to BCC

4. Copy this message and paste
