[SEX_VAMPYRE]

LAST NIGHT I GOT THIS STUPID VIRUS WARNING AND BELIEVED IT. I PISSED OFF PLENTY!!! I FEEL SO STUPID FOR BELIEVING THIS THAT I WANT TO POST IT HERE !!! THANKS FOR LETTING ME POST.

Its a hoax. the jdbgmgr file is required by windows.
you can get it back by going to www.mcafee.com and searching
for the "virus". it has restore info there for you.



This can be checked out at http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99436
which says this is a hoax report.

AVERT HOAX Notice!!

McAfee AVERT Labs would like to inform you of a new email HOAX.

This email message is just a HOAX. Although, the JDBGMGR.EXE file may become
infected by a number of valid viruses (most commonly W32/Magistr@MM), the
details of this HOAX message are not based on actual events.

We are advising users who receive the email to delete the message and DO NOT
pass it on as this is how an email HOAX propagates.

It uses this icon:

Fuck, are you serious?

The little teddy bear thing?

I just deleted that and mailed everyone in my address book that, "I may have given you a virus" as instructed.

That's annoying.

It's a great place to check the validity of ANY virus warnings you get.

my boyfriends mother called me this morning about this same damn thing.

I told her.. WHENEVER YOU GET A NOTICE LIKE THIS... GO TO http://www.google.com and in the little search box.. type in the name of the "virus"..

that will bring up several pages on whether or not it's a hoax

NEVER DELETE THINGS OFF YOUR COMPUTER BECAUSE A FRIEND TELLS YOU TO!

I didn't get this one, but several of my friends did. Big pain in the ass for them. The google site is a good one. Thanks for putting the link to it up.

There's another similar hoax out there that my wife fell for.

I look here whenever I get an e-mail warning of a virus:

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/

Also, remember the following guidelines:

95% of all forwarded e-mails are BS.

Nobody is going to send you anything if you forward the e-mail, no matter how many people you annoy with it.

Nothing is going to pop up on your computer if you forward an e-mail. It's just not going to happen.

Check out http://www.snopes.com and use their search engine before forwarding a missing child/child in the hospital/science class (forward this to everyone so we can see how far it goes) type e-mail. Most of those are untrue too.

I have had more people email me about that stupid virus warning. I keep emailing them all and telling them it's a hoax.

The worst one was when someone emailed me back and told me no i was wrong tell everyone to delete it. It took me a week to convince her she was wrong.
