The Recory (Jdbgmgr) Worm
The Recory worm primarily travels in file sharing programs such as
IRC, Kazaa, and Morpheous. The message that comes with it looks a
lot like the hoax message but tells you exactly the wrong thing to
do. Descriptions of the worm are available at antivirus websites
such as, � F-secure � Symantec Hello readers,
I have just cleaned my computer from a highly damaging computer
virus Which is spreading rapidly through computer networks
worldwide.
There is one way to check to see if your computer is infected with
this virus.
Click the "Start" menu at the bottom left of your screen. Click the
"Find" or "Search" button. Click the "Files or folders..." option.
Then once the search application starts, type "Jdbgmgr.exe"
If you have found this file, right-click on it and click the
"Properties" tab. If the Properties menu has a picture of a bear on
it, your computer is infected with this virus. (Note that the
non-infected file picture has a hammer and a screwdriver shown in
it)
You may delete this file, but this is not the only file that the
virus infects, To remove this virus, I have included a virus removal
tool in the attachments that will scan all system files and remove
any infectious code from them. This virus removal tool is very easy
to use. If you have any trouble with this tool, read the help menu
that the removal tool supplies.
If your computer is infected with this virus, It is strongly
recommended that you send this removal tool to as many people as you
can to help remove the traces of this virus worldwide.
