A virus has been passed on to me by a contact. My address book has in turn been affected. Since you are in my address book there is a good chance you will find it in your computer too. I followed the directions below and eradicated the virus easily. 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 is sent automatically by messenger and by the address book whether or not you sent e-mails to your contacts. Here is how you 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 teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe. DO NOT OPEN IT 6. Go to edit(on the menu bar), 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 to to the Recycle bin. 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. To do this a) Open a new e-mail message b) Click on the icon of the address book next to the "TO" c) Highlight every name and add to "BCC" d) Copy this message....enter subject....paste to e-mail. Apologies to those of you who have had this message several times from different people. This may be a hoax but I'm afraid not to warn you.

Please be advised this is a HOAX and/or an URBAN LEGEND!!! Do not follow the directions to delete anything! Passing on virus alerts to a Rootsweb site is not allowed. I'm sure you will be hearing from the List Administrator Jo ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gloria" <gjs@acd.net> To: <TNMONTGO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2003 1:00 PM Subject: [TNMONTGO-L] Urgent Virus Alert > A virus has been passed on to me by a contact.

Ok ok. Me is stupid. So I went to look for it online to see actually what it is... Here is a link to the site. http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html Hope this eases everyone's fears it did mine. Sheesh do I feel like an idiot. Oh well I checked it out.

Hi Kerri, There is a great site to check out these things, plus I love to read all the other stuff they have. Don't worry telling folks about an "alert" as that is what folks who start these things are counting on----our willingness to help others and to prevent them losing valuable data. That's how they get their "jollies". Look at it this way, if they're fooling me they're giving somebody else a rest!<G> I figure there are two main reasons God created me: (1) He made me clumsy because he figured that picking up things I drop is the only way I will get any exercise; and, (2) He made me gullible so "pranksters" could practice their "art".
