Virus Alert

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: Jim Hosp

This is my first message. I hope it helps you. The following message is from my friend and pastor.
I got an email from a friend in Houston who told me that I have received a virus that automatically is passed through email address books.I checked ours and found it and removed it.Since you are in our address book,you will probably find it in your computer too.The virus is 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 address book,whether or not you sent
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...jdbgmgr.exe
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 go 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:
1.Open a new e-mail message
2.Click the icon Address Book next to 'TO'
3.Highlight every name and add to "BCC"
4.Copy ths message and paste
In closing, I am handicapped with an undiagnosed disease which is similar to rheumatoid arthritis. If anyone could recommend a way to earn a living at home I would appreciate your help very much. I am a single father of four teenage children. They deserve more than I am currently able to provide.
Cordially and with respect,
Jim Hosp
