Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 I have just received a message from a friend that my address book may have been infected by a virus (and it was). The virus is called jdbgmgr.exe and was not detected by Norton or McAfee antivirus systems. The virus stays quiet for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by the messenger and by the address book, whether or not you sent e-mails to your contacts. 1. Go to Start, Find or Search Option 2. In the files/folder option, write the name jdbgmgr.exe 3. Be sure you search in your C: drive 4. Click " Find Now " 5. The virus has a little bear icon with the name jcbgmgr.exe DO NOT OPEN IT 6. Right click and delete it (it will then go to the Recycle) If you don't get delete, right click just the letters " jdbgmgr " then hit delete. NO NOT CLICK THE BEAR!!!!!! I repeat, DO NOT CLICK THE BEAR1 __________________________________________________________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.
