I just received an email from a contact in my address book that a virus had
been passed on to her because she was in someone else's address book. She said
that everyone in her address book is likely to find the virus in our computers
too, and I did find the virus in my C drive. I was able to eradicate the virus
by following the instructions shown below.
The virus which is called jdbgmgr.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 any of your contacts. It appears easy to eradicate if you follow
the instructions below that were given to me from the contact.
Here is how to check for the virus and eliminate it. Please do this - I have
copied the following from her email.
1. Go to Start and 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'
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 chose '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.
If you find the virus - which I did - please contact all the people in your
address book so that they may eradicate the virus from their own address books.
To do this, open a new email message, copy and paste this message, and send to
all your contacts.
Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience, but it was beyond our
control.
Please follow this procedure as soon as you get the email.
Sorry,
Don
