Re: [FWDLK] fwd: Virus you may have gotten from our address book

Here's a link on the matter for anyone interested:

Remember what they say about an e-mail that tells you to foward it to everyone you know....

I suspect just about everyone on the list will find this file on their computer.

 

Whenever in doubt, a simple search on www.norton.com can give you a quick and easy answer...and is a lot better than deleting files your system may need.  >From the sound of it, this particular file isn't needed unless you're a J++ developer.

Hello everyone,

I received an email from a friend who said their computer was infected by a virus and it was sent out to everyone in their address book.  I checked my computer and the virus was in my hard "C" drive and back up drives.  Following is what I was told to do to find and get rid of it: (I have no idea what it does but since it was on my PC it's better to be safe than sorry, so I removed it)

"My address book has been infected with a virus and as a result so is yours because your address was in my book.  The virus is called jdbgmgr.exe.  It sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system.  It is sent automatically by messenger and by your address book, whether you send e mails or not.  To get rid of it:

1.  Go to Start, then Find or Search
2.  In File/Folders write the name jdbgmgr.exe
3.  Be sure to search in your "C" drive and any other drives on your computer
4.  Click Find or Search
5.  The virus has a teddy bear logo with the name jdbgmgr.exe
6.  DO NOT OPEN
7.  Right click and delete the file
8.  Go to the recycle bin and delete it there also
9.  IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS YOU MUST CONTACT EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK

We're sorry if this affected your computer.
