A virus has been passed on to me by a contact. My address book has in turn
been affected. Since you are in my address book there is a good chance you
will find it in your computer too. I followed the directions below and
eradicated the virus easily. The virus (called jdbgmgr.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 the
address book whether or not you sent e-mails to your contacts.
Here is how you check for the virus and get rid of it.
1. Go to start, find or search option.
2. In the file/folders option, type the name:
jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure to search your C: drive and all the
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), choose "select all"
to highlight the file without opening it.
7. Now go to the file(on the menu bar) and select delete. It will then to
to the Recycle bin. 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 on the icon of the address book next to the
"TO"
c) Highlight every name and add to "BCC"
d) Copy this message....enter subject....paste to
e-mail.
Apologies to those of you who have had this message several times from
different people.
