: VIRUS WARNING - READ IMMEDIATELY
I just received a message today from a friend in my Address Book. Their
Address Book had 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 quietly for 14 days before damaging the system.
It's sent automatically by the messenger and by the Address Book,
whether or not you sent emails to your contacts. I have checked, found
it, and deleted it.
Here's how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it:
DO THIS:
1. Go to Start, Find or Search option.
2. In the files/folder option, write the name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure you search your C: drive and any other hard drive you have.
4. Click "find now"
5. The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe
DO NOT OPEN IT
6. Right click and delete it. It will then go to the Recycle Bin
7. Go to the 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 MY ADDRESS BOOK WILL HAVE IT.
If you didn't get it from me, you may have gotten it from someone else.
It's best to check in either event.
Sorry,
Jerry L Jackson
