address book has in
turn been infected. Since you are in my address book
there is a chance
that you will find it in your computer too.
I followed the instructions below and eradicated the
virus easily.
The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by
Norton or MacAfee
anti-virus-system. This 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 send emails to your contacts.
Here's how to check the virus and get rid of it:
1. Go to start, then go up to the 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 the
sub-folders and any other
drives you may have.(Click on the box to include
subfolders.)
4. Click: "Find now"
5. The virus has a grey 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.
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.
To do this:
1. Open a new email message
2. Click the icon of the address book next to the "to"
3. Highlight every name and add to "BCC"
4. Copy this message, enter subject and paste to
email, and send
Remember you have to do this very quickly
