4. Click the "Find Now"

5. The Virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe DO NOT OPEN IT!!! ( I found 3 in mine!!!)

6. Go to Edit (on the menu bar), choose "Select all" to highlight the file without opening it

7. Now o to File (on the menu bar) and select delete. It will then go to the Recycle Bin

8. 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 THAT THEY CAN ERADICATE IT FROM THEIR OWN ADDRESS BOOKS.
