A virus has been passed to me. My address book was
infected. Since you are in my address book, you will probably find it in
your computer, too.
The virus (called jdbg.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
address book, whether or not you sent e-mail to your contacts.
Here
is how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it. Please do this!
1. Go to Start, then click your 'Find' or 'Search' option 2. In the
folder option, type the name...jdbgmgr.exe 3. Be sure to 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 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 File (on the menu
bar) and select delete. It will then go to the recycle bin. If you find the
virus, you must contact all the people in your Address Book so that they may
eradicate the virus from their own address books.
To do this: 1.
Open a new e-mail message 2. click the Icon Address Book next to 'To' 3.
Highlight every name and add to "BCC" 4. Copy this message and paste to
e-mail
