Subj: Possible visus Date: 8/26/2003 3:56:55 PM Central Daylight Time From: marjflowers@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Marjorie Flowers) To: Undisclosed-Recipient:; Unfortunately, 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. My sincere apologies. The virus (called jdbgmgr.exec) 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 e-mail 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 (WHETHER YOU HAVE E-MAILED THEM OR NOT) To do this: a) Open a new e-mail message b) Click the icon of the address book c) Highlight every name and add to "BCC" (which means blind copy) d) Copy this message and paste to e-mail I have followed these directions sent by the person who sent the virus to me and was able to easily delete the virus. Sorry for the inconvenience. Norton definitely does not detect it. I loaded the very latest yesterday, ran a complete scan, and nothing showed. Please accept my apology for the virus getting by undetected. Michelle Izzo I followed these instructions and easily deleted the virus Roy D. Salazar I hope this is unnecessary, but with all the worms and viruses going around, I'd rather be safe than sorry. Truly sorry about the inconvenience.
