Guest guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 VIRUS ALERT I just received a message today from one of my friends in my Address Book. They were infected with a virus and it was passed on to my computer ,YET I CAUGHT IT BEFORE IT CAUSED DAMAGE, and I want to insure that you do not have any issues either. The virus called jdbgmgr.exe is not detected by Norton or McAfee , as I undetrstand it, anti-virus systems. The virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by the messenger and by the Address Book, whether or not you sent emails to your contacts. I have checked, found it, and deleted it. Here's how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it. DO THIS! 1. Go to Start; Find of Search option. 2. In the files/folder option, wrtie the name jdbgmgr.exe 3. Be sure your serach your C: drive 4. Click "find now" 5. The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.eve DO NOT OPEN IT! 6. Right click and delter it. It will then go to the Recycle Bin 7. Go to the Recycle Bin and delete it there as well. 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. SORRY ABOUT THIS. I'M NOT SURE, BUT I THINK EVERYONE IN MY ADDRESS BOOK WILL HAVE IT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
