A virus has been passed on to me by a contact. Our address book in turn has been infected. Since you are in my address book there is a chance that you will find it in your computer too. I followed the instructions below and eradicated the virus easily. The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee antivirus system. The virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. Messenger and the address book send it automatically whether or not you send emails to your contacts. Here is how to check for the virus and get rid of it: 1. Go to start, Find or Search option 2. In the file/folders option, type the name: jdbgmgr.exe 3. Be sure to search your C-drive and all the subfolders and any other drives you may have. 4. Click "Find now" 5. The virus has a grey teddybear 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 the File (on the menu bar) and select DELETE. It will then go to the recycle bin 8. 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 address books. To do this: 1. Open a new email message 2. Click the icon of the address book next to the TO 3. Highlight every name and add to "BCC" 4. Copy this message and enter subject and paste to E-mail and send. Remember to do this all very quickly.

This is no virus it is part of you operating system, (DO NOT DELETE IT). This joke goes out every few months. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy and Brian" <nnebiker@mchsi.com> To: <MDGEN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2003 11:24 AM Subject: [MDGEN] Possible Virus > > > > A virus has been passed on to me by a contact.

Yes this is a Hoax. If you want to read about it, here is a laymen's explanation. http://www.snopes2.com/ Jdbgmgr.exe is actually the MicrosoftR Debugger Registrar for Java. If you have already deleted it, unless you are a Java programmer, you will never miss it and it will not stop your Operating system from Working. To many people have to much time on their hands, I guess. Unfortunately, this e-mail will probably generate more traffic than any virus. -----Original Message----- From: Nancy and Brian [mailto:nnebiker@mchsi.com] Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2003 2:24 PM To: MDGEN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [MDGEN] Possible Virus A virus has been passed on to me by a contact.
