'Netters should ignore this, although sent on in good faith it's a hoax. Request that in future when people receive messages of this nature they visit any anti-virus web site or simply tap the file name into Google. If you do the latter you get immediately link http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/jdbgmgr.htm explaining the hoax, (and also what to do if you have deleted the file). Regards Mike -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of [log in to unmask] Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 7:28 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Dear All I am very sorry about this. A friend's Address Book has been infected by a virus and it was passed on to my computer. My Address Book, in turn, has been infected. The virus (called dbgmgr.exe ) is not detected by Norton or McAfee anti-virus systems. The virus sits dormant for 14 days before damaging the system. It's sent automatically by messenger and by the address book, whether or not you sent e-mails to your contacts. Here is how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it. 1. Go to Start, click on Find or Search option. 2. In the Files/Folders option, write the name jdbgmgr.exe 3. Be sure you search your C: drive 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; choose "select all" to highlight the file without opening it 7. Now go to file 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 THIS VIRUS YOU MUST CONTACT ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK SO THAT THEY CAN ERADICATE IT IN THEIR OWN ADDRESS BOOKS. I AM EXTREMELY SORRY ABOUT THIS I'M SURE THAT AS I HAVE FOUND IT EVERYONE IN MY ADDRESS BOOK WILL HAVE IT AS WELL. To do this open new e-mail message Click the photo of address book next to "To" Click every name and add it to BCC Copy this message, enter Subject, paste to e-mail, send Marc Cowen ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
