>Hello everyone,
>
>Unfortunately, a virus has been passed on to me 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 any e-mails
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"
>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
