There was an e-mail hoax that circulated at least as early as 2003, warning users of a virus that passed itself automatically via e-mail and messenger to all contacts in the user's address book. The e-mail message instructed users to search for a file called jdbgmgr.exe, and if it was found on the computer, to select all files found and delete them. The e-mail was very successful, since the file in question is a common Windows file (that is quite legitimate), however, it has a teddy bear icon that makes it look quite out of place for a Windows file. Luckily, deleting the file is not harmful to a user unless they happen to program in J++, in which case the user would hopefully be savvy enough to not fall for this hoax.NOTE: The file jdbgmgr.exe is a legitimate file. It is not a virus, and does not need to be deleted. The e-mail cited above was a hoax. It is quite possible that it is still in circulation.
•The Know test: Is the email from someone that you know? •The Received test: Have you received email from this sender before? •The Expect test: Were you expecting email with an attachment from this sender? •The Sense test: Does email from the sender with the contents as described in the Subject line and the name of the attachment(s) make sense? For example, would you expect the sender - let's say your Mother - to send you an email message with the Subject line "Here you have, ;o)" that contains a message with attachment - let's say AnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs? A message like that probably doesn't make sense. In fact, it happens to be an instance of the Anna Kournikova worm, and reading it can damage your system. •The Virus test: Does this email contain a virus? To determine this, you need to install and use an anti-virus program. That task is described in Task 1 - Install and Use Anti-Virus Programs of "Home Computer Security

Well, isn't that just a happy little sentence we have here! Let's break it down together. "One" is an adjective describing "email message," "contained" is a verb showing action, "a" is an article indicating a singular noun, "virus" is a noun, "but" is a conjunction connecting ideas, "it" is a pronoun referring to the virus, "was" is a verb indicating a state of being, and "very quickly" is an adverb describing how the virus was deleted. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, understanding the parts of speech can help us appreciate the beauty of language!
