VIRUS ALERT

2003-03-07 by Brian Hirschfield

To all on my email address list :

I received the following email and, checking, the file was in my C:\windows\system32 directory ....

A virus has been passed to me (a grey teddy bear in my 'C' drive) and
since  you are in my address book the chances are that you have it too.  Please
 follow the directions below and delete it.  It is sent AUTOMATICALLY by
 messenger and by the address book WHETHER OR NOT you send emails to your
 contacts.  It sits on the drive for an unspecified time and then sets to
 work and damages the system.  It is not detected by Norton or McAfee
 antivirus systems, and it obviously avoided my PC-cillin antivirus
 software!!

 The virus is called "jdbgmgr.exe.

 Here's how to delete:

 1. Go to Start/Find/Search
 2. Select File/folders and type in the name 'jdbgmgr.exe
 3. Select "C" drive plus any other hard drives you have
 4. Click "Find Now"
 5. The virus has a teddybear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe (DO NOT OPEN
 IT!!!)
 6. Go to 'edit' on the menu bar and chose "Select All" to highlight the file
 without opening it.
 7. Now go to "File", select delete and send it to the bin

 IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS - AS I DID - CONTACT ALL ON YOUR ADDRESS BOOK SO
THEY CAN ERADICATE IT.
