Dear All,
The following message is being circulated
to those who may have received a virus. It appears that it attaches itself to
the addresses in the computer's address book and can transfer across to each one
of them whether or not any messages have been sent.
My computer was included in the address book of someone who had
the virus. As your name is in my address book, it may be that the virus
has transferred itself to your computer. In fact, it is highly likely.
The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee or VET or AVG anti
virus systems. The virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the
system. It's sent automatically by messenger and by the address book whether or
not you send e-mails to your contacts. Here's how to check for the virus and how
to get rid of it.
< BR>
YOU MUST DO THIS -
1. Go to
start (bottom left corner), find the search option (or "find").
2.
In the files / folders option, write the name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure
to 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 go to your recycle bin.
8. Go to your Recycle Bin
and delete it there as well.
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. SORRY ABOUT THIS. I'M SURE EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS
BOOK WILL HAVE IT.
