EASIEST WAY, PRINT THIS OUT FIRST Sorry about this.... A virus has been passed on to me by a contact. My address book has in turn been infected. Since you are in my address book, there is a good chance you will find it in your computer too. I followed the directions below and eradicated the virus easily. Sorry for the inconvenience. The Virus (called jdbgmgr.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 the address book, whether or not you sent e-mails 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/folders option, type the name: jdbgmgr.exe 3) Be sure you search your C: drive and all 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), 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) 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 To do this: a) Open a new e-mail message b) Click the icon of the address book enxt to the "TO" c) Highlight every name and add to "BCC" d) Copy this message...enter subject...paste to e-mail...send Sorry once again. It was sent to me. ************************************************* BRISTOL BIRDS NET LIST This is a regional birding list sponsored by the Bristol Bird Club to facilitate communications between birders and bird clubs of Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee.
