have performed the following instructions and found the file to have been
on my hard drive and deleted same.. I do not know if was active or not.
Please be advised to do the same and hopefully it will be the last of this
thing,
Sorry for the inconvenience, Darrell
A virus has been passed on to my computer by a contact. My address book may
be in turn 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
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 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/ folders option, type the name: jdbgmgr.exe
3 Be sure you search your C: drive and all 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), 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 THEY CAN ERADICATE IT IN THEIR OWN
ADDRESS
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"
d) Copy this message ... enter subject ... paste to e-mail
... send
