It seems like everyone in the online Irish dancing community ahs been getting virus attachments from ID-related emails for the past few weeks. It goes through your address book. This is an email I received from a friend:

"Sorry about this, but we have just received a message from one of our contacts that our address book had been infected by a virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) not detected by Norton or McAfee antivirus systems. The virus stays quiet for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by the Messenger and by the address book, whether or not you sent e-mails to your contacts.

We checked, found and deleted it. Now it's your turn!

1. Go to Start, Find or Search option.
2. In the files/folder option, write the name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure you search in your C: drive
4. Click "find now"
5. The virus has a little 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, or empty the 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."

I didn't have it, but I still check every so often.
