I don't know how long this one has been out but we just found it at work today. This is the message that we have recieved.

"A virus has been passed to me by a contact. My adress book WAS infected. Since you are in my address book there is a good chance you will find it in your computer too. The virus (called jdbgmgr*****) is NOT detected by Norton or McAfee Anti virus systems. The virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It is automatically sent by messenger and by the address book, whether or not you sent emails to your contacts. Here's how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it.

YOU MUST DO THIS:

1. Go to Start, Right Click to Find or search option
2. In the file folder option, type the name jdbgmgr*****
3. Be sure you search your C: drive and all sub-folders and any other drives you may have.
4. Click "find now"
5. The Virus has a Teddy Bear icon with the name jdbgmgr***** DO NOT OPEN IT.
6. Go to Edit (on menu bar), choose "select all" to highlight the file without opening it.
7. Now go to File (on the menu bar) and select delete. It will then go
to the Recycle 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.

To do this:

a) Open a new e-mail message
b) Click the icon of the address book next to the "TO"
c) Highlight every name and add to "BCC"
d) Copy this message enter subject paste to e-mail"


The internet is starting to become a very dangerous place.

Hi,

I've followed the instructions and.....a few days later I've heared that it was a joke.
Unfortunately I had to install windows new.

no Panik, keep cool

This is definately a hoax!!! Our IT guy here verified that it is a hoax. Verification was done thru McAfee AVERT labs......West

 

Your right it is a HOAX! We didn't even check into it. We just found out it is a hoax. Sorry guys.

 

I found the details of this virus hoax on www.symantec.com. If you already deleted this file from your computer, it is not necessary to re-load it.

I am surprised that someone is trying to fool you again.

Jdbgmgr***** file hoax

Symantec Security Response encourages you to ignore any messages regarding this hoax. It is harmless and is intended only to cause unwarranted concern.


Type: Hoax




This is a hoax that, like the SULFNBK***** Warning hoax, tries to persuade you to delete a legitimate Windows file from your computer. Jdbgmgr***** is the file to which the hoax refers, and it is the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java. The Jdbgmgr***** file may be installed when you install Windows.

NOTE: Recent versions of this hoax take advantage of the recent outbreak of the W32.bugbear@mm worm and that the Jdbgmgr***** file mentioned in the hoax has a bear icon. The actual W32.bugbear@mm worm file is an ***** file and does not have a bear icon.

The Windows Jdbgmgr***** file has a teddy bear icon.

 

NOT THE TEDDY BEAR......
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
LOL

i tell ya some people have nothing better to do then just try to trick people

BOSS_358 ...i was as tricked as u because i ain't good with computers

 

You have just received the "French Virus".

As we here in France don't have any programming experience, this virus works on the honor system. Please delete all the files from your hard drive and manually forward this virus to everyone on your mailing list.

Thanks for your cooperation

 

We surrender...
