I got this email in my inbox, then panic set in! Its from a friend of mine and seems quite genuine... I've followed the instructions in the email and I had the teddy thing, so I deleted it as it said, then performed the search again and it was still there... Time and time again after I tried to delete it.... Grr! Help me!
For once this is not just a stupid forward this is completely serious my
computer was infected!
Unfortunalty a virus has been passed to me through an address book virus
which also infected my address book. Since you are in my address book, you will
probably find it in your computer too.
The virus (called jbdg.exe or jbdgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or
McAfee Antivirus. It sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It is
sent automatically by "messenger" and by address book, whether or not you sent
email to your contacts.
Please do this: It is very simple to do and took me less than a minute to
complete...
1. Go to Start, then click you "Find" or "Search" option.
2. In the folder option, type the name "jdbgmgr.exe"
3. Be sure to search your C Drive and All the Sub Folders and Any Other
Drives you may have
4. Click "Find Now" or "Search"
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". That will send the
virus 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 book
To Do This...
1. Open a new email message.
2. Click the icon "Address Book" next to "To"
3. Highlight every name and add to "BCC"
4. Copy this message and pass the email along. This will affect Everyone in
your address book, so send it!!!
Sorry for this inconvenience. Thank goodness the person infected contacted
me!
