Subject: Virus alert in address book
Hi everyone,
Unfortunately a virus has been passed to me through an address book
virus
which also infected my address book. Since you are in my address book,
you
will probably find it in your computer, too. The virus (called
jdbg.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 address book, whether or not you sent e-mail to
your
contacts. Basically, that means you will pass it along unknowingly, as
I
did.
I was sent this email and am now passing it on to you as to how to
check
for the virus and how to get rid of it. Please do this! It's very
simple to
do and takes about 3 mins.
1. Go to Start, then click your 'Find' or 'Search' option
&g!
t;
2. In the folder option, type the name... jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure to search your C Drive and all the sub folders 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) 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. If you find the virus, you must contact all the
people in
your Address Book so that they may eradicate the virus from their own
address books.
To do this:
1. Open a new e-mail message
2. click the icon Address Book next to 'TO'
3. Highlight every name and add to "BCC"
4. Copy this message and paste to e-mail
