A virus was passed to me, and my address book has been affected. Since you are in my
address book, there is a good chance you will find it in your computer too. I followed the
directions below and eradicated the virus easily. The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not
detected by Norton or McAfee anti-virus 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 emails to your contacts.
Here is how to check for the virus and get rid of it.
1. Go to Start, Find/search option.
2. In the file/folders option, type the name: jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure to search your C: drive and all the subfolders and any other
drives you may have.
4. Click "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), choose "select all" to highlight the file
without opening it.
7. Now go to the file (on the menu bar) and select delete. It will then go
to the recycle bin.
IF YOU FIND THIS 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 on the icon of the address book next to the "TO"
c) Highlight every name and add to "BCC"
d) Copy this message above and paste to e-mail
e) Enter subject and mail to all
Sorry for the inconvenience
