Thanks Wilmer for pointing that out to me. Should have read it better. The same hoax was going around on other lists and some people were listening to it and then had to have their computer worked on. Just trying to save someone some heartbreak. Ethel "Wilmer L.

Cheryl, Thanks for your explanation of the HOAX to the list-- what damage the HOAX causes to your computer. Many people are still gullible when they receive that HOAX message: they fall for it without checking out its validity. Also, I think that someone didn't read your message just posted, thinking that you were continuing to spread the HOAX.

The reason jdbg.exe isn't found by an antivirus software is -- it isn't a virus. It is a file that came in the OS as it was installed from the factory. You may delete it without damaging the computer, but... The file enables long file names (such as wvhampsh-l-messages.txt). Without the file running in the background, that file name will be (wvhamps~.txt) or worse (wvhampsh.txt) with the extra letters "hidden" but necessary to view the file.

Would also like an invitation.Stumps of Hampshire County My name is Deanne Stump mike_dann@charter.net

Terri, this sounds great .I would love to visit your site and wil add my families info if you like . Alle Keller dreamscmtrue@aol.com

PLEASE...before sending these often harmful scares to other folks, you need to check with ANY of the hoax sites on the internet.... http://www.vmyths.com/ if you had done so, you'd have found the information on this hoax, and that you have removed something useful on your computer, as this type virus often instructs you to do.....so, I suggest you visit the online site and REINSTALL what you have mistakenly removed.......and next time, don't be so gullible! Sandra this is only a portion of the info on the above hoax site....please visit and read it ALL! "This particular urban legend started in early April 2002 among Spanish-speaking computer users. The hysteria spilled over to the English-speaking community by mid-April 2002. Well-meaning users fall prey to False Authority Syndrome when they use their eyeballs to "detect" viruses. Vmyths surmises a clueless, well-meaning user (not a hoaxster) adapted an old sulfnbk.exe alert by simply changing one instruction to look for JDBGMGR.EXE. All is not lost if you got duped and you self-damaged your PC. See the related links (below) for instructions to replace the file you deleted." Sandra

My great-great-great grandfather Hiram Pickering's (c1803-at least 1856) family unit lived right along that county line in the early- to mid-1800s. My great-great grandfather Joseph Pickering (c1842-1913) was born there and didn't leave until he was about 20. Please count me in!

I don't play games. I took it out of my computer this morning. I got it from a company e-mail and in the 14 days it took to let go the company computer went down. So take it for what you want.

You're right. I am sorry I did not include my email address. Anyone interested in joing the new site on my family.com please email me at terrie7@alltel.net. Please send first and last names along with email address and specify the Hampshire/Morgan list as I do have 3 now. Thank you.

Bill Miller schatzies_dad@hotmail.com Great!!!! Nettie mentioned some time ago about the need for such a site. Where she and I come from the county line doesn't really exist. It is an "area" as much as it is a county or counties. As Nettie knows, many of my pictures cannot be traced to one or the other county but to the general "area". >From: "Terrie Smith" <terrie7@alltel.net> >Reply-To: WVHAMPSH-L@rootsweb.com >To: WVHAMPSH-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [WVHAMPSH-L] A new WV site >Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2003 21:49:48 -0500 > >Nettie Grace and I have started a new forum site for the counties of Morgan >and Hampshire in WV on my Family.com.

To everyone in my email address book, I just found out that I received a virus that automatically is passed through email address books.  Since you are in my address book, you will probably find it in your computer.  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 sent email to your contacts.  Here is how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it. PLEASE DO THIS ASAP: Go to Start, then click your "find" or "search" option 1.    In the folder option, type the name: jdbgm 2.    Be sure to search your C drive 3.    Click "find now" 4.    The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe.  DO NOT OPEN IT!!!! 5.    Go to Edit (on the menu bar) and choose "select all" to highlight the file without opening it. 6.    Now go to the File ( on the menu bar) and select delete.  The virus will then go to the recycle bin. I then emptied my 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 adds books.   To do this: Open a new email message 1.    Click the icon address book next to "To" 2.    Highlight every name and add to "bcc" 3.    Copy this message and paste to e-mail. Sorry for the problem.. Hope this has been a help in REDDS
