PROTECT COM

I got this message about a virus that can produce lot of dammage [sic] to your computer. If you follow the instructions which are very easy, you would be able to "clean" your computer.

Apparently the virus spreads through the adresses book . I got it, then may be I passed it to you too, sorry.

The name of the virus is jdbgmgr.exe and is transmitted automatically through the Messanger and adresses book of the OUTLOOK. The virus is neither detected by Norton nor by Mc Afree.
It remains in lethargy ("sleeping") for 14 days and even more, before it destroys the whole system. It can be eliminated during this period.

The Steps for the elimination of the virus are the following :

1. go to START and click FIND
2. in "FILES and FOLDERS " write : jdbgmgr.exe
3. be sure that it searches in "C:"
4. click SEARCH NOW
5. if the virus appears (with icon of a small bear) and the name "jdbgmgr.exe" . don't open it!!! in any case !!!
6. click the right botton of the mouse and destroy it
7. empty the recycle bin

If you find the virus in your computer please send this mail to all the people in your address book.

Thank.

The Happy Birthday virus is picking up great deal of popularity and is spreading alot faster as compared to other virus. This virus mostly spreads through E-mails and flash drives like pen drives.

Following are the problems that this virus causes :

1. Disables registry editor, folder options and command prompt.
2. Shows a tool tip near the mouse cursor with the texts "Happy Birthday".
3. Runs a process named either "explorce.exe" or "explorcr.exe" in the background processes that confuses with explorer.exe
4. Operating system shows "NTLDR Missing" problem.

Solution to fix the problem :

1. First of all we need to get our folder options and registry editor back (to do this, refer this post of mine).
2. Now kill the process "explorcr.exe" or "explorce.exe" running in background.
3. Now go to Folder options -> tick Show Hidden files and Folders and uncheck Hide Protected Operating System Files.
4. Delete the exe from "C:\Windows\system32" folder.
5. Also delete the "autorun.inf" file from the root drive.
6. Now to fix NTLDR missing problem , insert XP CD and Copy "NTLDR" from i386\NTLDR to %SystemDrive%
7. Restart the system.

Finish
