Dear All, A virus has been passed to me by a contact. My address book in turn has been affected. Since you are in my address book, there is a good chance you will find it in your computer too. I followed the direction below and eradicated the virus easily. 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 emails to your contacts.
Here is how you 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 to search your C: drive and all the subfolders 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 (on the menu bar), 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 to the recycle bin 8.. Empty the recycle bin IF YOU FIND THIS VIRUS, YOU MUST CONTACT ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK SO THEY CAN ERADICATE IT IN THEIR OWN ADDRESS BOOKS. To do this: a) Open a new e-mail message b) Click on the icon of the address book next to the "TO" c) Highlight every name and add to "BCC" d) Copy this message above and paste to e-mail e) Enter subject and mail to all Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience caused. ------------------------------
