hi,
Just been sent this e-mail...
its about a virus with a teddy bear icon, called jdbgmgr.exe
anyone heard of it?
I have just received a virus that automatically is
passed through email address books. Since you are in
my address book, you will probably find it in your
computer too. The virus (called jdbg.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 e-mail 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... jdbgm
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 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 this message and paste
