Computer Virus

2002-09-05 by Ifly185@aol.com

Dear All,
I am sorry about this.

A friend's Address Book has been infected by a virus and it was passed on
to my computer. My Address Book, in turn, has been infected. The virus (
called jdbgmgr.exe ) is not detected by Norton or McAfee anti-virus
systems. The virus sits dormant for 14 days before damaging the system. Its
sent automatically by messenger and by the address book, whether or not you
sent e-mails to your contacts. Here is how to check for the virus and how
to get rid of it.

1. Go to Start, click on Find or Search option.
2. In the Files/Folders option, write the name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure you search your C: drive 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; choose "select all" to highlight the file without opening it
7. Now go to file and select "delete". It will then go to the Recycle Bin
8. Go to the Recycle Bin and delete it there as well.

IF YOU FIND THIS VIRUS YOU MUST CONTACT ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK
SO THAT THEY CAN ERADICATE IT IN THEIR OWN ADDRESS BOOKS. SORRY ABOUT THIS
I'M SURE THAT AS I HAVE FOUND IT EVERYONE IN MY ADDRESS BOOK WILL HAVE IT
AS WELL.
To do this open new e-mail message
Click the photo of address book next to "To"
Click every name and add it to BCC
Copy this message, enter Subject, paste to e-mail, send
