Hi Patricia,

 

This is Magnus, I'm Hannele's husband.

 

This mail was sent out by Your computer but this is a so called HOAX, and if

someone follows these instructions they will delete an important file on their

computer.

I suggest You send another mail to tell people that this message was sent out by

mistake, and that they don't do this.

 

You can read more about this at http://www3.ca.com/virusinfo/virus.aspx?ID=11729

 

Regards

Hannele & Magnus

virus check via address book

 

 

 

 

 

So VERY Sorry but unfortunately a virus has been passed on to me by a previous

correspondent. My address 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.exe) is not detected by Norton or McAfee antivirus systems. 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 e-mail to your

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

 

1. Go to the Start Menu, find the Search option

2. Select Files and Folders

3. Search all Files and Folders for jdbgmgr.exe

4. Be sure to search your c: and all other subfolders and any other drives

you may have.

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

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

the recycle bin.

8. The make sure to empty your recycle bin on you desktop.

9. 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. Bring up Bcc which means blind copy, by clicking on View, then select

all headers.Click the icon of the address book next to the " Bcc "

c. Highlight every name and add to " BCC "

d. Copy this message and paste to e-mail
