[webproducers] Re: VIRUS ALERT!!! (NOT)

This is a virus hoax, please see the Symantec update here:

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jdbgmgr.exe.file.hoax.html

This file is legitimate, it's the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java.

Please search Google or Symantec for these things before forwarding these
things on.

Thanks.

Subject: [webproducers] VIRUS ALERT!!!



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
