Apologies for the troubleSubject: Virus warning
Unfortunately, a virus has been passed on to us by a contact. Our Address
Book WAS infected. Since you are in our address book, there is a good chance
you will find it in your computer too. The virus (called jdbgmgr.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 the address book, whether or not you sent any e-mails to your
contacts.Here’s 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, type the name jdbgmgr.exe
3. Be sure you search your C: drive and all 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) 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.8. 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” (which means blind copy)
d) Copy this message and paste to e-mailDecember 12, 2003 at 10:47 am #52420sciencefeeling
MemberDon´t even think about deleting that aplication, that mail that you got is a hoax. You can find more information at the following site http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html
The file is actually Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java, and is installed with windows. Actually if you go to properties of the aplication you will find it is created when you installed your OS.
Hope it helps,
