In fact this file is part of Microsoft Internet Explorer and should be on your machine if you're using this software. We have had a similar 'virus warning' at our institution. Check with your IT Dept. before removing this if you remain concerned. Regards ------- Forwarded message follows ------- Date sent: Wed, 15 May 2002 09:59:18 +0200 Send reply to: "O.

This virus landed on my hard disk via another colleague (sorry for cross-posting) and I managed to delete it. I suggest strongly you do so as well. Apologies for all the bother... Olivier I have received a virus warning today from an Antipode contact, and found this was in my system. Apologies. I have pasted the message I received below. Ros Dear all Apologies for cross-postings Please do not ignore this e-mail. I just received a message today from one of my friends 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, for ours it was dated 1998, presumably to prevent discovery. 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.(Right hand click on "Start"). 2. In the files/folder 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 and chose "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 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. 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 .
