Subject: Virus in affecting address book of Carol Silverman


We just received this from friends. We checked our C drive and deleted =
this virus.
Their address book was infected with a virus and passed on to our =
computer. Our address book, in turn, has been infected. 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's sent automatically by the messenger and by the address book, =
whether or not you sent emails to your contacts. I have checked it, =
found it, and deleted it. SO SORRY...
Here's how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it:
DO THIS;
1. Go to start, Find or Search Option
2. In the files/folder option, write the name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure to search your C:drive
4. Click the "find now"
5. The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe
>DO NOT OPEN IT!!
6. Right click and delete it. It will then go to the Recycle Bin
7. Go to the Recycle Bin and delete it there as well.
>IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS, YOU MUST CONTACT ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS =
BOOK SO THEY CAN ERADICATE IT IN THEIR OWN ADDRESS BOOKS. SORRY ABOUT =
THIS. I'M SURE EVERYONE IN MY ADDRESS BOOK WILL HAVE IT.
Hope you do not have this, but if you do, please delete it =
immediately....Joan and Dale and Carol Silverman
