THIS IS URGENT
A Virus has been passed on to us by a contact. Our Address Book in turn
has been infected. Since you are in my address
book there is a chance that you will find it in your computer too. I
followed the instructions below and eradicated the virus
easily. The virus(called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or
Macafee anti-virus system, This virus sits quietly for 14 days
before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by messager and the
address book, whether or not you send emails to
your contacts.
Here is how to 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 you search your C-drive and all the sub-folders and any other
drives you may have
4.Click: "Find now"
5.The virus has a grey teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe - DO
NOT OPEN IT
6.Go to edit(on the menu bar) and 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
go the recycle bin.
8.Go to the Recycle Bin(on desktop) 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.
To Do This:
1.Open a new email message
2.Click the icon of the address book next to the "To"
3.Highlight every name and add to "BBC"
4.Copy this message,enter subject and paste to email,and send Remember
You have to do this very quickly.
