Virus Threats
Spyware There has been much in the press about the increase in problems from ‘dialers', which may redirect your internet dialup connection via a premium rate number. Often the first indication of this is an unusually large telephone bill. We strongly recommend that you ask your telephone provider to put a bar on premium rate numbers to stop this happening. Some of these problems are very difficult to remove – requiring a complete erasure of the disk and re-installation of your system. It is vital that you keep a backup of all the information on your PC that is important to you.
Jdbgmgr hoax
There is a virus hoax that advises users to delete a valid Windows file named Jdbgmgr.exe. If you receive an e-mail message to this effect, simply delete the e-mail message and do not forward it to others. Although this file may become infected with a virus, its presence is not an indication of a virus infection.
