Re: [Digital BW] VIRUS ALERT

2003-03-08 by david_bookbinder@sprynet.com

This is an old hoax. Please check with one of the many antivirus/hoax 
sites (or even use Google to look for crucial words, such as 
the filename) and you will see these hoaxes documented and not 
pass them on, which is what the hoax-writers want you to do.

If you are not a java programmer, you won't miss this file, but 
it is part of the Windows operating system.

More anon,

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.
