VIRUS ALERT
>
> please read below and follow the instructions.....i hate to say this but i
found the teddy bear in my hard drive....
>
>
> Unfortunately, a virus has been passed on to me by a contact. My address
book WAS infected. Since you are in my address book, there is a good chance
you will find it in your computer, too. The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is
not detected by >Norton or McAfee antivirus 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-mail 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 folder option, type the name jdbgmgr.exe
> 3. Be sure you search your C: drive and all subfolders 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!
> Mine was located in c:\windows\system32.
>
> 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.
>
> 8. 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.
> To Do This:
> a) Open a new e-mail message
> b) Click the icon of the address book next to the "TO"
> c) Highlight every name and add to "BCC" (which means blind copy)
> d) Copy this message and paste to e-mail
