To remove the PrettyPark worm:

1.On the Windows taskbar, click Start > Run.

2.Type REGEDIT, then click OK.

3.Modify the following Registry value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\exefile\

shell\open\command

and change

files32.vxd " %1 " %*

to

" %1 " %*

For clarity, these seven characters are the

following:

double quote, percent sign, the numeral one, double

quote, space, percent sign, and asterisk. Don't

forget the

space.

4.Delete the PrettyPark.exe file.

5.Restart your computer.

6.Delete the \Windows\System\Files32.vxd file.

READ IMMEDIATELY AND PASS ON

Someone is sending out a very cute screensaver of the Budweiser

frogs. If you download it, you will lose everything! Your

hard drive will crash and someone from the Internet will get

your screen name and password!

DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! It just went

into circulation yesterday. Please distribute this message.

This is a new, very malicious virus and not many people know about it.

This information was announced yesterday morning from

Microsoft. Please share it with everyone that might access the

Internet.

Once again, pass this along to EVERYONE in your address

book so that this may be stopped.

AOL has said that this is a very dangerous virus and that there

is NO remedy for it at this time.

Hello friends,

I'm well and getting ready for a 10-day vacation on the island of Poros and a nice hotel by a beautiful and quiet bay. Looking forward to some much needed relaxation, with swimming, walking, reading and charcoal broiled fresh fish! Leaving Saturday 1 July, returning on the 11th. Thinking of you.

Love,

Anne

OregonDCs:

Recently there was a Virus alert sent out stating that a message which may

have originated in my office called " Neurologists " or one of the responses

titled the same carried a .kak computer virus. I have neither had any virus

picked up by my antivirus program, nor have I found any sign of .kak files

anywhere on my computer. I am uncertain what is being picked up by the

virus programs of certain users of OregonDCs. I just wanted everyone to

know that I can not find the origin of the problem on my computer.

Respectfully,

DeShaw, D.C., J.D.

I got this from a friend of mine who is an engineer at Boeing. The test

is self explanatory.

---------------- Begin Forwarded Message ----------------

I don't usually send these out and do not want to get these types of

messages from you. Boeing has a great e-mail police force and I thought

you

may want to take advantage of it by getting these warnings. We get about

one of these warnings every three months or so. Why so few? Because

most

virus alerts are bogus. And because Boeing only posts the ones that they

have not already blocked with their virus protection software. So, if

you

get one of these warnings from me, it is very likely a real issue to

watch

for.

Sincerely,

Shane

___________

A virus was detected Thursday in the Boeing e-mail system, affecting both

Exchange and Outlook 2000. Incidents have been reported throughout the

company.

If you receive an e-mail message that refers to a movie in its subject

line

and includes an executable attachment, DELETE IT. Do not open the

attachment, as that triggers the virus.

Virus alert

My computer was infected with the " loveletter " virus yesterday. The attachment was entitled the " White House and FBI " . This virus is sent by taking all the contacts on an e mail list and forwarding the message to them. Please do not open any attachment from me with this title. Remember, just because you know the e mail sender, it doesn't mean he or she actually sent the e mail. Always use virus scanning software.

Virus alert

Hello friends and family,

I just wanted to let you know that I’ve received two emails with virus’. The body of the text is asking for my advice and has an attachment. Get rid of it. It’s a bad bug. It automatically sends out an email to your entire contact list.

I hope everyone is great

Virus Alert

Someone anonymously sent us this message:

1. Open your e-mail address book and click the button

that adds a new address/member to your list of e-mails.

2. In the field where you write the name of the new

member, write: !000 (i.e. exclamation mark and followed by 3 zeros)

3. In the field that you write the e-mail address of this new member,

write:

WormAlert (if your e-mail software demands the use of @ sign

then write: WormAlert@w )

4. Complete the adding by clicking on the OK button (or

whatever name you have for the button that finishes the adding process)

You do this only once, and now if a Worm tries to send itself, it will fail

in its first attempt and your

friends will be saved. Also,in most programs when there is a failure in

sending an e-mail you get notice about

this failure, thus by getting a message like: " there was a failure when

Dear List,

Being a member of the computer geek community, I am rather skeptical of

this it and to the best of my knowledge does nothing to prevent you from

being infected by a worm. The best way to protect yourself from worms and

viruses you need to update your virus protection weekly, Most new virus

protection is not set up to auto update on a regular schedule. It is also

very important to update your operating systems and mail programs with

patches. Both of which can be found on your operating systems websites.

They self install but are rather large files.

There are known security problems with win2K, XP and Office XP which could

allow worms and viruses in but the patches are there to fix them.

hope this helps

This tip listed below will work only if the worm is of a type that uses the

address book. One of the newer ones (Badtrans.B) uses the names from unread

messages in the in box. It will also use the subject lines from the inbox

so as to appear a reply. The vast majority of the viruses transmitted are

sent due to two default holes in the Windows OS.

1> By default, the preview pane is on in Outlook. This should be set to

off. You will need to open each email.

2> By default, Windows hides extensions (the 3 letter names at the end of a

file) This should be set to show the extensions. (In Explorer, Click

Tools>Folder Options...Click the View tab. Under Advanced settings. Change

the item, Hide file extensions for known file types to be unchecked. Click

the Apply button.

If you are not expecting an attachment, you should suspect it.

File type of .PIF, .SCR, .COM, .EXE, should be suspect. File types of .DOC,

..XLS, and .PPT can contain self executing macros which can cause problems.

You are better off opening the parent application first and then opening

the file, as you will be offered the option to disable macros. You cannot

as yet receive a virus from an image file. I believe there has only been

one incident of a virus in a .PDF.

If you have been infected, this may help.

I would not expect this to work with most e-mail clients. It would

error on that first e-mail but the error would come after it had

already sent messages to everyone else.

However, you could use this sort of technique to let yourself know

that you had been infected. You could create a special address in

your address book that sends mail back to yourself.

Thanks Rita. This is the same hoax virus alert that that was being circulated

before Christmas. Message then read:

Please note that the 'sulfnbk.exe' virus message is a hoax. For full

details, refer to the symantec anti-virus site,

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html

This site contains instructions on how to restore the sulfnbk.exe program if

you have deleted it.

We could all learn a lot about epidemiology by looking at the way computer

viruses (and imitation ones) spread! As in communicable disease, prevention is

better: I am conscious of a need to update my virus protection. Best wishes

Group Settings for this email group are set at...

Attachments ... Discard attachments (attachments sent with an email will be

removed). You do not need to be afraid of receiving email from

" Autism_in_Girls " .

We had problem in the past with other issues and I have never changed the

setting nor do I have any plans of changing the setting. The only way you

could receive a virus... is if someone emails you privately.

Thank You Sincerely,

Virus name: JDBGMGR.EXE.

Status: Hoax.

Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2002]

I got this message about a virus that can produce lot of dammage [sic] to

your computer. If you follow the instructions which are very easy, you would

be able to " clean " your computer.

Apparently the virus spreads through the adresses book . I got it, then may

be I passed it to you too, sorry.

The name of the virus is jdbgmgr.exe and is transmitted automatically

through the Messanger and addresses book of the OUTLOOK. The virus is

neither detected by Norton nor by Mc Afee. It remains in lethargy ( " sleeping

) for 14 days and even more, before it destroys the whole system. It can be

eliminated during this period.

The steps for the elimination of the virus are the following:

1. go to START and click FIND

2. in " FILES andFOLDERS " write: jdbgmgr.exe

3. be sure that it searches in " C "

4. click SEARCH NOW

5. if the virus appears (with icon of a small bear) and the name " jdbgmgr.exe

. don't open it !!! in any case !!!

6. click the right button of the mouse and destroy it

7. emty the recyclage bin

If you find the virus in your computer please send this mail to all the

people in your addresses book .

thanks.

Origins: Like the SULFNBK.EXE hoax, this bogus virus warning (also known

as the " Bear Virus " ) attempts to lure gullible users into deleting perfectly

innocuous, standard Windows files from their systems.

In this case the target file is JDBGMGR.EXE, which is the Microsoft Debugger

Registrar for Java program. It is included as part of a standard Windows

installation, is not a virus, and should not be deleted.

(The icon for this file is a graphic of a bear like the one shown to the

left.)

-- VIRUS ALERT

Hi I found this file on my C drive - don't know whether it was a virus or

not but I deleted it - and I am afraid you are in my address book. Bw Rosie

Virus warning

I received a warning about this virus and yes it was in my system and so

may also be in yours as you are in my address book.

The name of this virus is jdbgmgr.exe and it is sent automatically by

the Messenger and by the address book.

The virus is not detected by McAfee or Norton and it stays quiet for 14

days before damaging the system.

The virus can be cleared before it deletes the files from your system.

In order to eliminate it, it is just necessary to do the following steps:

1. Go to Start, click " Search " (or " Find " )

2. In the " Files or Folders option " enter the name jdbgmgr.exe

3. Be sure that you are searching in the drive " C "

4. Click " find now "

5. If the virus is there (it has a little bear-like icon with the name of

jdbgmgr.exe) DO NOT OPEN IT FOR ANY REASON

6. Right click and delete it (it will go to the Recycle bin).

7.Go to the recycle bin and delete it or empty the recycle bin.

IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS IN YOUR SYSTEMS SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ALL CONTACTS

LOCATED IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK BEFORE IT CAN CAUSE ANY DAMAGE.
