[pyrnet] virus---------warning sent to me and i found it on hard drive



Hey all,
 
I received this email from the owner of a local market.  I did what the email said to do and found the teddy bear icon and virus, so have deleted them.  I am sending this on to all of you who are in my address book so you can do the same thing and look for this virus on your hard drives.

Dear All,

A virus has been passed on to me by a contact.There is a chance that
you will find it in your computer too as you are in my address book.

You can follow the instructions below and eradicate the virus easily.
The virus ( called jdbgmgr.exe ) is not detected by Norton or Macafee
anti-virus system. This virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the
system.

It is sent automatically by messenger and the address book, whether or not
you send e-mails to your contacts.

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

1. Go to start,Find or Search option

2. In the file / folders option, type the name : jdbgmgr.exe

3. Be sure you search your C-drive and all the sub-folders and any
other drives you may have.

4. Click: ' Find now '

5. The virus has a grey 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.

7. Now go to the File ( on the menu bar ) and select DELETE. It will
then go to the recycle bin.

8. Go to the Recycle Bin and delete it there as well.

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 :

1. Open a new e-mail message

2. Click the icon of the address book next to the 'To'

3. Highlight every name and add to ' BCC '

4. Copy this message, enter subject and paste to e-mail and send.

Remember you have to do this very quickly.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
