I would *really* appreciate it if people stopped sending these virus emails to the Forum.  The vast majority of them are hoaxes and if you follow them you can actually disable/damage your machine.

 

First double check with a company like Norton or do a Google search before informing others.  Chances are, they will be a hoax

 

And what do you know, this *is* a hoax - check here for more info:

Checking first will take two seconds of your time, will possible stop people from damaging their machines and will stop irrelevant clutter. 

 

Best Regards

Subject: Possible virus from the UK

 

 

I have been alerted to a virus which I have since found and deleted, and which affects everyone in my address book so please can you follow the  instructions at the end to see if you have been contaminated and to delete it. The virus is called jdbgmgr.exe and is not detected by Norton  McAfee or Sophos 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.

Here's what to do:

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 jdbgmgr.exe DO NOT OPEN

6 Right click and delete it (it will then go to the Recycle Bin)

7 Go to the Recycle Bin and delete is there as well, or empty the bin

IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS YOU MUST CONTACT ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK SO THEY CAN ERADICATE IT IN THEIR OWN ADDRESS BOOKS
