Subject: re: please read carefully!
This was sent to me by a good friend--some of you may get duplicates on it,
but better safe than sorry. I found the "teddy bear" in my files--please
follow the instructions--it was easy to get rid of.
My address book has been infected with a virus, and as a result, so has
yours because your address was in my book. The virus is called
jdbgmgr.exe.
It cannot be detected by Norton or McAfee anti-virus programs. It sits
quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent automatically
by
messenger and by the address book, whether or not you send emails.
In essence, because you are in my address book, you are likely to be
infected. Sorry....I guess it goes with the territory!
I followed the instructions below and it was easy to get rid of. I didn't
really think I'd find it, thinking it might be a nasty joke. Nope. It was
there and now it's not.
TO GET RID OF IT:
1. Go to start, then Find or Search
2. In Files/Folders, write the name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure to search in your "C" drive
4. Click Find or Search
5. The virus has a teddy bear logo with the name jdbgmgr.exe *******DO
NOT
OPEN*******
6. Right click and delete it
7. Go to the recycle bin and delete it there also. IF YOU FIND THE
VIRUS,
YOU MUST CONTACT EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it was very easy to get rid of.
