Date: Sunday, March 09, 2003, 5:30 PM A virus has been passed on to me by a contact. My address book WAS infected. Since you are in my address book, there is a good chance you will find it in your computer too. The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected my 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 emails to your contacts. Here is how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it: YOU MUST DO THIS!!! 1. Go to Start, Find or Search option 2. In the file/folder option box, type the name jdbgmgr 3. Be sure you search your C: drive and all sub-folders and any other drives you may have. 4. Click "find now". 5. The virus has a Teddy Bear Icon with the name jdbgmgr - DO NOT OPEN IT!! 6. Go the file(s) with this ICON and right click to highlight the file without opening it. 7. Now go to the dropdown menu and select DELETE. It will be placed in the Recycle Bin. Do this with each of these files I had two of them). Don't forget to empty the RECYCLE bin immediately!! 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 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 Sorry everyone. I found it in my system after one of my contacts sent me this email. It's fast and easy to get rid of. Just don't open it. This may go to some places/area that I have no control over. I am letting you know what I found. I am running Norton Anti Virus -2003 and Norton Firewall 2003 plus I run House calls each week and it still slipped through. Note: Make sure you follow the the instruction completely. Thanks: Bob Moore moor4933@bellsouth.net

Hi everyone, Looked into this a little on Symantec's website and found this. It is a hoax and the file that is referred to is an actual MSFT Windows file, a java debugger to be exact. This is a virus that could infect this file, but that is handled different. We had this hoax thrown at us a few times at work. I work in the Information Techology field and am a network/email admin by trade. Here is the link to Symantec....http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr. exe.file.hoax.html If you have alredy deleted the file, it shouldn't cause any problems on your system.
