I just received a message from Joanie - follows: I was n notified today by someone whose address book I am in that she had found a virus on my C drive. Therefore,, 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 Antivirus 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've sent e-mail to your contacts. Here is how to check for the virus and > how to get rid of it. PLEASE DO THIS ASAP (it will only take a minute) 1. Go to Start, and then click your 'Find' or 'Search' option 2. In the folder option. type the name...jdbgm 3. Be sure to search your C Drive and all the 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 e-mail message 2. click the icon Address Book next to "TO" 3. Highlight every name and add to "BCC" 3. Copy this message and paste I found it in my system
Why oh why don't people check these out before sending them to others! This hoax is nearly as old as me! Does one really believe that neither Mc Afee nor Norton would not have the ability to detect most viruses! If you follow the instructions you will delete part of your MS program!!! While it does no significant damage it will cause problems. Here is a link to that specific hoax info: http://hoaxinfo.com/jdbgmgr.htm And here is one that you may easily check in the future http://hoaxinfo.com/ Best advice: 1) keep your MS updated http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp 2) keep you anti-virus program updated 3) run a second anti-virus program, some may be found on the net at no cost! http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp Robert Jerin Peggy Ferrier <pjf@phonewave.net> wrote: I just received a message from Joanie - follows: I was n notified today by someone whose address book I am in that she had found a virus on my C drive.
