[pchelpers] Re: Fw: virus

Luann
That's an old hoax.
Hope Larry told you that.
Hope you didn't delete anything, although it can be restored as I believed
it once upon a time too and then had to go to windows or someplace and get
the file and put it back and then later found it was something that I really
didn't use anyway.

An acquaintance sent me this message tonight.
Please tell me if the threat is legitimate or not.
Do I follow these instructions? Do I unplug my computer and not use it for
14 days?
What?

Subject: Re: virus


I just received notice from a friend that I received a virus that
automatically is passed through email address books. I did find it on my
computer. 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. 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 an email to your contacts.

Here is how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it. PLEASE DO
THIS ASAP (it will only take a minute).

1. Go to Start, then click your "Find" or "Search" option.

2. In the folder option, type the name....jdbgm

3. Be sure to search your C Drive and all the up folders 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 got

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:

A. Copy this message and paste unto a new email message.

B. Click the icon Address Book next to "TO"

C. Highlight every name and add to "BCC"
