Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Unfortunately a virus has been passed to me through an address book virus which has infected my address book. since you are in my address book, you most likely will find it in your computer, too. the virus is not detected by Norton, Anit-virus, or AVG systems. the virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. it is sent automatically by " messenger and my address book, whether or not you sent e-mail to your contacts. basically that means you will pass it unknowingly as i may have. i was sent this email and am now passing it on to you as to how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it. please do this. It's very simple to do and takes only 3 minutes...1) GO to start then click your " Find " or " Search " option 2)in the folder option type the name....jdbgmgr.exe Do not open It! 3) be sure to search your C drive ! and all the 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 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 into the recylce bin. if you find the virus, you must contact all the pople in your address book so that hey may eradicate the virus form their own address books. To do this: 1. open a new e-mail message 2. click the icon Address book next to " To " 3. highlight every name and add to " BCC " 4. copy this message and paste to e-mail. I'm really sorry for all the trouble. Bill _____ Enjoy MSN 8 patented spam <http://g.msn.com/8HMAENUS/2743??PS=> control and more with MSN 8 Dial-up Internet Service. Try it FREE for one month!

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 It is possible that you actually received a email virus hoax and following the steps outlined *could* possibly damage your computer.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Lavon, found that interesting about the MS study on virus causing roseola linking to MS. Wouldn't it be great if they came up with a virus causing PLS and could be treated with anti=biotics? They have a trial going on ALS giving massive doses of antibiotics. Seems some that have used them for infection have seen benefit. Thanks for the imput. Arlene Just when I got used to yesterday.....along came today!
