Subject: [GM-L] POSSIBILITY OF A VIRUS - URGENT

Hi

I am new to this list and very much enjoy the bountiful information I find
here.

HOWEVER this warning of a virus...unknown to the concerned sender is a hoax.
Deleting this file can cause problems in the Microsoft Windows operating
system on every computer.

You can find this HOAX information on the following Urban legend web site
http://www.tafkac.org/ulz/jdbmgr.html

RECAP from Urban Legends:
The presence of a file named jdbmgr.exe does not mean your computer is
infected with the W32.Efortune.31384@mm virus.
The W32.Efortune.31384@mm becomes active immediately upon infecting a
computer and does not lie dormant for fourteen days.
Deleting any file named jdbmgr.exe will not remove the W32.Efortune.31384@mm
virus nor will it restore any damage done by the virus.
The W32.Efortune.31384@mm virus can infect a number of other Microsoft
Windows systems files besides jdbmgr.exe.
Popular antivirus programs such as Norton AntiVirus and McAffee VirusScan are
capable of detecting and removing the W32.Efortune.31384@mm virus.

Any time I receive a virus warning to delete something I check it on Urban
Legends or a virus protection web site
Hope this helps
