Ridecamp: RE: [RC] Fwd: Virus Alert - urgent as I've received this one

I just get such a kick out of some of these viruses going around - they actually got the "Honor System Virus" to work!  You know how it goes - you have just opened the Honor System Virus, now send this to everyone in your address list and then delete everything on your hard drive.  Kind of a do it yourself joke.  Basically, NEVER delete anything from your computer without checking it out first.  You can check this particular hoax at www.snopes.com among many other places.  http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/jdbgmgr.htm   is the link to more information on this hoax.

Dear People:
I received this from someone on the Internet. I looked through my files immediately after receiving the e-mail and I did have the program in my files. I deleted it.
Here is the letter and the instructions:
I got a virus this morning non detected by Norton 2003, neither by MacAfee. It goes through your address book, and since you are in mine, you probably have it now as well. BE CAREFUL, you need to delete it ASAP, it stays only 10 days dormant before it attacks and destroys.
Here is how to proceed:
-click on start
-click on find
-click on 'for files or folders"
-type in "jdbgmgt.exe" (that is the name of the virus)

If detected, to delete:
-Select Edit, then choose "Select all", which highlights the file
-Select file, then choose "Delete"
You may have to do the above procedure frequently to prevent reinfections until virus software catch up on this one
I a m sorry for this but since I found it after receiving this e-mail, I thought I had better warn anyone in my mailbox so that the virus can be deleted.
