virus from messenger

Question

i just recieved a email from one of my relatives called jdbgmgr.exe (teddy bear icon), it infected them and is not detected by Norton or McAfee.

It says, "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 sent Emails to your contact.

To remove it, just delete it. It is usually in the C:\Windows\Systems folder.

On my comp with windows XP, i have no trouble deleting it, and its gone. But on my other computer with windows ME, I delete it, but then it comes back. I can't get rid of it, it justs keeps coming back. I tried restarting my comp, nothing. Anyone know how? thanks

You need to disable the system Restore utility in win's ME, to keep the infected file/'s from being recreated by Restore_ every time you delete it. Manually find and delete the file/'s in Restore_ files also.

The last thing you want to do is delete this file.  This is a very old hoax.  Read here.  In almost all cases, a message from someone warning of a virus is just a hoax.  All you have to do is use google to search on the so called virus name and you will find out all you need to know.  If you have succesfully deleted it then you can  recover it at Denny Denham's site here. Message Edited by caddellwr on 04-15-2003 07:41 PM

Gearu, you can try these steps: Go to search, and type in jdbgmgr.exe  and then Right click and delete it (it will go to the Recycle bin) Go to the recycle bin and delete it or empty the recycle bin.

did anyone even read caddellwr's post? Or did you just read the first post and hit reply? Stop telling the person how to delete the file, it is a hoax.

Not that it matters in this case but:  System restore will only restore the file if you choose to do a restore.  Which in this case might be a good thing if the file has been deleted since it was not a virus.
