Hi Everybody
I was given a printed copy of this email and found the virus on my C Drive. You are all
in my address book so please check your computers.
"I just found out I received a virus that automatically is passed through email
address books. 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.
Here is how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it.
PLEASE DO THIS ASAP:
1. Go to Start, then click your 'Find' or 'Search' option
2. In the folder option, type the name... jdbgm
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 or Contacts next to 'TO'
3. Highlight every name and add to "BCC"
4. Copy this message and paste to e-mail.
I know most of you will know how to deal with this but I didn't and maybe somebody
else wont. I had no idea that I had received the virus and I thought I was well
protected!! Good Luck.
Anne
