Subject: [NCSCGenSwap] IMPORTANT VIRUS IN ADDRESS BOOK
Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2003 11:42:21 -0400


I apologize for any inconvenience but I have just received this.

I am deeply sorry but it is important that I inform ya'll.

Some addresses will receive this more than once.

Hey there

we are sorry to tell you that I received a virus through my address book
that came from another person's affected address book. Since you are in my
address book, there is a good chance you are infected as well. The virus,
called jdbgmgr.exe is not detected by Norton or McAfee antivirus systems
(and mine was up to date) . The virus 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 email to your contacts.

Here's how to check for the virus and get rid of it:

YOU MUST DO THIS:

1. Go to start, Find or Search option

2. In the file folder option, type the name "jdbgmgr.exe"

3. Be sure you search your "C" drive and all subfolders and any other
drives you may have.

4. Click "Find now"

5. The virus has a Teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe- DO NOT OPEN
IT!

6. Go to Edit (on the menu bar) and choose "select all" to highlight the
file without opening it.

Move to the recycle bin.

8. If you find the virus you must contact all the people in your address
book so they can eradicate it in their address books.



To do this:

a. open a new email message

b. Click the icon of the address book next to the "TO"

c. Highlight every name and add to "BCC" (which means blind copy)

d. Copy this message & paste to email.
