Their address book had been infected with a virus and it was passed on to my computer. My 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. 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 you search your C: drive > 4. Click "find now" > 5. The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe - DO NOT OPEN IT WHATSOEVER > 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. > > I AM SO SORRY ABOUT THIS. I'M SURE EVERYONE IN MY ADDRESS BOOK WILL HAVE IT. > > > > > > > ==== HOLT Mailing List ==== > > > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > >
