From ANDREW GEE AND GRADEA COMPONENTS
Dear All
A virus has been passed to us by a contact. Our address book WAS infected. Since you are in the address book, there is a good chance that you will find it in your computer too.
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 syatem. It is sent automatically by the address book, whether or not you sent emails to your contacts.
Here's how to check for the virus & how to get rid of it.
YOU MUST DO THIS.
1. Go to Start, Find ro Search options.
2 In the File folder option, type the name jdbgmgr.exe
3 Be sure to 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 Menu bar. Choose Select All to highlight the file without opening it.
7 Now go to File on Menu bar and selsct Delete. It will then go to the Recycle Bin and delete completely out of the system.
IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS, YOU MUST CONTACT ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK SO THAT THAEY CAN ERADICATE IT IN THEIR ADDRESS BOOKS
To do this
a) Open a new email message
b) Click the icon of the address book next to 'To'
c) Highlight every name and add to "BCC"
d) Copy this message enter subject paste to email
Sorry for the inconvenience
