This pretty much isn't bullshit I found it on my computer as well. So yea it goes through address books so there's a good chance some of you have it as well I STRONGLY suggest getting to it quick.

NOT A JOKE! DO THIS ASAP AND YOU'LL BE FINE
found this virus on my computer--please read below and check your
systems.

Unfortunately, a virus has been passed on to us by a contact. My
address
book WAS infected. Since you are in my address book, there is a good
chance you will find it in your computer too. The virus (called
jdbgmgr.exe) is
not detected by Norton or McAfee antivirus systems. The virus sits
quietly
for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by
messenger and by the address book, whether or not you sent e-mail to
your
contacts.

Here's how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it:

YOU MUST DO THIS.
1. Go to start, Find or search option.
2. In the file folder option, type the name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure you search your C: drive and all subfolders and any other
drives you may have.
4. Click "find now" or "search".
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) and select delete. It will then go
to the Recycle Bin.
8. 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.
To Do This:
a) Open a new e-mail message
b) Click the icon of the address book next to the "TO"
c) Highlight every name and add to "BCC" (which means blind copy)
d) Copy this message and paste to e-mail

Yeah, but the easiest way to spot whether or not if it's a hoax is to check whether or not the author of the email HIT THE CAPS LOCK key...

Another dead giveaway is when it instructs you to email everybody you know.
