Subject: Virus Alert





Unfortunately a virus has been passed to me through an 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 MacAfee

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 send

email to your contacts. Basically that means you will pass the virus

along

unknowingly,

as I did. I was sent this email, I am now passing it on so you know how

to

check for the

virus and how to get rid of it.





Please do this; it is very simple and takes about two minutes.



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 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 email message

2. click the address book icon or button

3. highlight every name and add to "bcc"

4. copy this message and paste to email.



This will affect everyone in your address book so send it now.

Unfortunately, this is not a virus.  It's a hoax that has been going around
for a couple of years and many of us have been fooled by it.  There's nothing
to worry about.

Dick, et al,

I think this virus warning is a hoax. Go to
http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/jdbgmgr.htm for an explanation.
They have the file name listed as "jdbgmgr.exe" but the description of
the fake virus and the bear icon are the same.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.
