Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Hi,Unfortunately a virus has been passed to me through an address book virus which also infected my address book. 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 Anti-Virus systems. It 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. Basically, that means you will pass it along unknowingly, as I did. I was sent this email and am now passing iton to you as to how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it.Please do this. It's very simple to do and took me less than a minute to complete. 1. Go to Start, then click your 'Find' or 'Search' option 2. In the folder option, type the name "jdbgmgr.exe" 3. Be sure to search your C Drive and all the sub folders and any other drives you may have. 4. Click 'Find Now', or "Search". 5. The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name "jdbgmgr.exe" Don't 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". That will send the virus 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 email message 2. Click the icon "Address Book" next to "TO" 3. Highlight every name and add to "BCC" 4. Copy this message and paste to e-mail this will affect everyone in your address book so send it now. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. triptika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
