Remembering that 99.99% of bulletins like this are hoaxes, and that you'll look like a computer flunkie if you pass on a hoax, do you really want to pass it on before you confirm that it's real, especially to business associates? I'll bet this is a hoax. Too familiar... Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2001 Report Share Posted May 3, 2001 Jen, many of us are getting similar messages. An existing subject line is taken over by the virus, and the message "Be sure to read this attachment" is inserted. If there really is a Shea, he probably has nothing to do with the messages; the virus has taken over his e-mail identity, just like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." I sent a message to the Shea address last night, got no response. If you don't have McAffee or Norton or similar, I strongly recommend you get it, do frequent live updates, and keep it enabled. This is a tough time, in terms of computer viruses. Harper I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2001 Report Share Posted May 3, 2001 Harper, I also sent him an email.... and when I did, it was returned with a bomb of emails from him repeatedly with the same virus attachment, just renamed. Perhaps because I'm making the most stink about it. I have an anti virus, two actually. My system is clean as far as I know. Excite doesn't allow me the offer to block this users email addy but are working on offering it as a service soon. In the mean time I have to continue receiving emails from him. I hope it ends soon.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2001 Report Share Posted May 6, 2001 Hi Debbie, If you opened the attachment, then you are infected. It is essential to buy, use, and update at least once a week, the best virus protection you can. I use PC-cillin but Norton's and McAffee also have their fans. To check your system to see if you are infected, go here http://www.antivirus.com/pc-cillin/ and run the free virus scan. If you are infected, go back to http://www.antivirus.com/pc-cillin/ and click on the troj_badtrans link under worldwide top viruses in the left column. You can also get a 30 trial of PC-cillin on that same page.

Sorry for the inconvienence. regards, BC ----- Original Message ----- From: Raquel Testa ; Russ ; Adam Dauphin ; Bill Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2001 11:49 AM Subject: FW: Virus alert -----Original Message----- From: sparhawk [mailto:sparhawk@...] Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2001 6:56 AM @Work Subject: FW: Virus alert Importance: High -----Original Message----- From: Janice [mailto:janicek@...] Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2001 10:17 AM ; Tammy; Suzy; Sheral; ; Ron ; Niki; Mona; Mom & Dad; Liz; Larry; Kerry; & Fern; Joyce; ; Joann; Jerry & Christy; jd; Janice; Hazel; Dawn Hunter; Chris; Jordan; Becky Subject: Virus alert Importance: High This is a serious e-mail. I received an e-mail from a friend two days ago, and this warning from her this morning:of a virus that was passed on to her. Her PC was infected and since I was in her address book it had probably been spread to my computer. I followed the instructions and located the virus. By following the instructions, I was able to delete the virus. The bad news is that you probably have it, as you are in MY address book! More bad news is that my anti-virus recently updated virus program did not detect this virus. This virus lies dormant for 14 days and then kills your hard drive. Here is what to do. If you follow the instructions and then see that you have the virus, you need to send a similar e-mail to everyone in your address book. Remove the virus by following these steps: 1. Go to " Start. " Then to " Find " or " Search " (depending on your computer.) 2. In the " Search for files or folders " type sulfnbk.exe -- this is the name of the virus. 3. In the " Look in " section, make sure you are searching Drive C. 4. Hit " Search " or " Find. " 5. If your search finds this file, it will be an ugly blackish icon that will have the name sulfnbk.exe. DO NOT OPEN IT! If it does not show up on your first " Search, " try a " New Search. " 6. Right click on the file -- go down to " Delete " and left click. 7. You will be asked if you want to send the file to the Recycling Bin--say " Yes. " 8. Go to your Desktop (where all your icons are)and right click on the Recycle Bin and either manually delete the sulfnbk.exe program or empty the entire bin. 9. If you found the virus on your system, send this or a similar e-mail to all in your address book because this is how it is transferred. Sorry for the trouble and my apologies for having unwittingly " infected " you, if this virus was on your computer. Nothing in this world changes your outlook on life like being loved.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2001 Report Share Posted December 27, 2001 Paolo, Find someone with a similar system as yours, have then " copy " the file, and mail it to you then simply copy to the correct file. BUT the file that was deleted was read only, self replicating, and it will replace it's self in a few days. This sill little game has been around a long while, WE will catch these idiots!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2002 Report Share Posted April 28, 2002 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 Venables 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2002 Report Share Posted April 28, 2002 Interesting that there are posts about viruses. I was thinking about posting a general warning that there are lots of viruses circulating. I recieved one that SAID it was from my ISP (earthlink), SAID it was bounced mail that I had sent and SAID the undeliverable mail was in as attachment called DMSA.pif. Fairly clever, I think. Please don't open attachments. You can run a scan on your computer for free from here: http://security2.norton.com/ssc/ I was told that one needs to run this from IE 4.01 or higher (and not netscape or other browsers). It will tell you what files on your computer have viruses. They will also recommend buying their anti-virus software. best wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2002 Report Share Posted April 28, 2002 Thanks for the warning, but I believe this one is a hoax. I " think " this program is a Java script debugger.... that the Windows operating system requires....nothing malicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
