Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 To all of my email contacts,Unfortunately a virus has been passed to me throughan address book virus which also infected my address book. 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. Basically, that means you will pass it along unknowingly, as I did. I was sent this email and am now passing it on to you as to how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it. Please do this! It's very simple to do and takes about 2 mins.You may wish to type this e-mail off to use the instructions.1. Go to Start, then click your 'Find' or 'Search' option2. In the folder option, type the name... jdbgmgr.exe3. 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 selectdelete. It will then go to the recycle bin. If youfind the virus, you must contact all the people inyour Address Book so that they may eradicatethe 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 this will affect everyone in your address book so send itnow.Sorry about this.Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
