Guest guest Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 Hi Everyone. I just discovered that a Virus krept past my Security through a friend's address book that got infected. Apparantly you can get it without it coming to you via email and My AntiVirus system didn't pick it up. Below are very simple instructions to discover if it has reached you and how to remove it. It lies dormant for 14 days. Om Namah Shivaya Kanti >A virus has been passed to me. My address book was infected. >Since you are in my address book, you will probably find it in your >computer, too. The virus (called jdbg.exe) is not detected by Norton >or McAfee Anti-virus systems. The virus sits quietly for 14 days before >damaging the system.
