I received an email sometime yesterday from a friend of mine telling me about a supposed "virus" that she gave my computer. Well today I got another email from an old friend of mine stating that it was a hoax.

Well the actual truth of this is, it is a HOAX. For some of you have hotmail probably received it alot from others, I'm not sure. I was one that believed a good friend of mine because she said on messanger that it was "true". Well I found a link after some searching and it tells you what you DELETED and how to get it back. I know a couple of you were on my hotmail list and I emailed it, hopefully you knew already it was a hoax, I didn't.

Here's the link that tells the tell about it:http://hoaxinfo.com/jdbgmgr.htm

Right now I'm mad because of that. One lesson learned and now EXTREMELY cautious of my mail I'm getting now. So for anyone who gets an email from anyone mentioning a "teddy bear virus" like this one mention above then its a Hoax.

Have a nice day everyone!

We just got this computer last month and I don't need anything to happen to it since it works great. Its my grandparents-in-laws computer (I guess I could say that now considering I'm going to be family in about 4months lol) and don't need them coming after me if this computer tears up. That wouldn't be good. I do know several friends of mine have done what the email says and they use Java alot. But anyways, going to be a whole lot careful about what they send to me. How many times do you have to tell friends not to send anything fwd involving chain letters but not listen and still do? oh well, as long as the computer is not acting up I guess its fine.
