Subject: I may have sent you a virus
I was sent this information and sound I did indeed
have the virus PLEASE check your system as described here. Sorry about
this I just received a message from a contact who told me that her address bood
had been infected by a virus which was possibly passed on to everyone in her
address book, I did what she instructed me to do and found that my computer did
have the virus described.
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 everyone. I followed
her instructions and deleted it, but it may have been passed on to everyone in
my address book (which means you). I am therefore giving you the exact
instructions and information she gave me, and I urge you to follow them and get
rid of the virus. Since it lays dormant for 14 days, so there is plenty of
time. The message follows: Here is how to check for the virus
and to get rid of it. Very simple. YOU MUST DO THIS:
1. Go to Start, 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 into the recycle bin.
8. Go to the recycle bin and delete it there
as well. Select All, permanently delete, etc.
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 am pretty sure everyone in my address book will
have it. To send this message to everyone in your address
book:
1. Open a new e-mail message.
2. Click the photo of address book next to
"TO"
3. Click every name and add it to
"BCC"
4. Copy this message, paste to e-mail, enter
subject and send.
