se osous erthei ayto to email einai apath

 

I found the little bear in my machine because of that I am sending this message in order for you to find it in your machine. The procedure is very simple:

 

The objective of this e-mail is to warn all Hotmail users about a new virus that is spreading by MSN Messenger. The name of this virus is jdbgmgr.exe and it is sent automatically by the Messenger and by the address book too. The virus is not detected by McAfee or Norton and it stays quiet for 14 days before damaging the system.

 

The virus can be cleaned before it deletes the files from your system. In order to eliminate it, it is just necessary to do the following steps:

1. Go to Start, click "Search"

2.- In the "Files or Folders option" write the name jdbgmgr.exe

3.- Be sure that you are searching in the drive "C"

4.- Click "find now"

5.- If the virus is there (it has a little bear-like icon with the name of jdbgmgr.exe DO NOT OPEN IT FOR ANY REASON

6.- Right click and delete it (it will go to the Recycle bin)

7.- Go to the recycle bin and delete it or empty the recycle bin.

 

IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS IN ALL OF YOUR SYSTEMS SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ALL OF YOUR CONTACTS LOCATED IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK BEFORE IT CAN CAUSE ANY DAMAGE.

adi32 ti kaneis???? To xereis oti afto einai email-farsa? diavases katholou ti leei sto link pou mas dineis?

 

This is a hoax that, like the SULFNBK.EXE Warning hoax, tries to persuade you to delete a legitimate Windows file from your computer. The file that the hoax refers to, Jdbgmgr.exe, is the Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java. It may be installed when you install Windows.

 

NOTE: Recent version of this hoax take advantage of the recent outbreak of the W32.bugbear@mm">W32.bugbear@mm</a> worm, and the fact that the Jdbgmgr.exe file that is mentioned in the hoax has a bear icon. The actual <a href="mailto:W32.bugbear@mm">W32.bugbear@mm</a> worm file is an .exe file and does not have a bear icon.

 

The Windows Jdbgmgr.exe file has a teddy bear icon as described in the hoax:

 

CAUTION: Jdbgmgr.exe, like any file, can become infected by a virus. One virus in particular, <a href="mailto:W32.Efortune.31384@mm">W32.Efortune.31384@mm</a>, targets this file. Norton AntiVirus has provided protection against <a href="mailto:W32.Efortune.31384@mm since May 11, 2001.

 

NOTE: If you have already deleted the Jdbgmgr.exe file, in most cases, you do not have to reinstall it. The following is quoted from the Microsoft Knowledge Base article Virus Hoax: Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java (Jdbgmgr.exe) Is Not a Virus (Q322993):

Virus Hoax = Ιός απάτη

 

Μάλλον ο adi32 αυτό ήθελε να δηλώσει με το post του, αφού δίνει την url της Symantec από κάτω που δείχνει την "απάτη".

Αυτό είναι παλιό και γνωστό αλλά.. Θα μπορούσε να γίνει και μια μετάφραση στα Ελληνικά γιατί κάποιος σαν εμένα ας πούμε που δεν ξέρω Αγγλικά μπορεί να κάνει το λάθος και να κάνει τη ζημιά. Εγώ εντάξει ήμουν γνώστης αυτής της κατάστασης κάποιος άλλος όμως μπορεί να κάνει ζημιά στο PC του...

Καλό θα ήταν ο πρώτος να κάνει ένα edit στο πρώτο μήνυμα και να ρίξει μια εξήγηση έστω και στα greeklish.. Καλύτερα όμως καθαρά Ελληνικά για να ξεχωρίζουν...

Θα έπρεπε νομίζω να δίνεται μεγαλύτερη προσοχή σε αυτό ...

Υπάρχουν άτομα που δεν γνωρίζουν βιάζονται κλπ. Αν κάποιος σταθεί στο πρώτο ποστ τότε άνετα μπορεί να την πατήσει....
