Dear Mario and Openehr, The mail you sent is an example of a hoax. A warning for a threat that is not real. Removing the file proposed destorys a normal microsoft java component. see http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html Best regards Gunnar Today ISO/TC 215/WG 4 security convenor

A virus has been passed on to me by a contact. My 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 McAfee anti-virus system. This virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by messenger and the address book, whether or not you send emails to your contacts. Here's 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 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 "BCC" 4. Copy this message, enter subject and paste to email, and send REMEMBER YOU HAVE TO DO THIS VERY QUICKLY. THANKS/RGARDS -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
