FOLKS

Ignore this.  It is a hoax.  We had it at work.  The file is perfectly legitimate.

 

If you do not believe me then go to the McAfee site and check the latest 'hoax' warnings.  

 

I say again.  This is a HOAX VIRUS.

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
