I just received an email from a friend. For some reason I do not beleive it. Don't know why though. But I just would like to know if anyone has this on their pc or not. I will copy and paste what the email said. To me it sounds just too "worried" about this problem. In other words it sounds like they want you to get rid of this exe and then your system will shut down or something.
I've looked at this exe, and it was created back in 98, last mod back in 98, which tells me it's been on my system since then.
So if anyone has this on their pc, should I just keep it there or what? Any advice would help me.
Thanks Rob
My address book was infected with a virus and as a result so has yours, because your address is in my book. The virus is called jdbgmgr.exe. It cannot be detected by Norton or McAfee Anti-virus programs. It sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It is sent automatically by messenger and by the address book whether or not you send emails. I received this unknowingly, just as you apparently have. Please check your computer. I AM VERY SORRY, BUT I WAS INFECTED ALSO THE SAME WAY. The easiest way to find out if you have it and to get rid of it is as follows: 1. Go to "start" button in the lower left corner, click on it and then move your pointer up to "find" or "search". 2. Click on "find or "search" and move over to "files or folders" and click on it. 3. A new window will open - type in the top space the name "JDBGMGR.EXE". Move your pointer to the bottom white space and make sure it is set to search your "C" drive (or whatever your main drive designation is). 4. Click "find" or "search" to begin the search. 5. The virus has a Teddy Bear logo with the name jdbgmgr.exe. 6. DO NOT OPEN DO NOT OPEN 7. Right click on the logo and point and click on "delete" on the window that opens. 8. Go to the recycle bin on your desktop and Right click on it and then click on "empty recycle bin". 9. IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS, YOU MUST CONTACT EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK. I AM TRULY SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE, I HAD TO DO THE SAME THING.

Thanks Anthony. I am glad that I didn't delete, unlike my friend.... Oh well. I guess I have to mail her the exe file eh?
