Re: Virus Alert!!

This is a hoax. Do not remove the file which is required for long filename
support. It is a standard windows file and NOT a virus. If you remove the
file you damage your computer which is what they are trying to make you do.
Please check
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html for more
info on this "virus".

Subject:  VIRUS ALERT


I found this virus on my computer. It is spread via the address book and I
would have received it from others, so chances are you also have it. Follow
the instructions to remove it, then forward this to everyone in your address
book.

THE VIRUS LIES DORMANT FOR 14 DAYS THEN KILLS YOUR HARD DRIVE!

REMOVE THE VIRUS BY FOLLOWING THESE STEPS:

        1.  GO TO "START", THEN TO "FIND" OR "SEARCH" (DEPENDING ON YOUR PC)
        2.  IN THE "SEARCH FOR FILES OR FOLDERS", TYPE sulfnbk.exe THIS IS
THE NAME OF THE VIRUS.
        3.  IN THE "LOOK IN" SECTION, MAKE SURE YOU ARE SEARCHING DRIVE C.
        4.  HIT "SEARCH" OR "FIND".
        5.  IF YOUR SEARCH FINDS THIS FILE, IT WILL BE AN UGLY BLACKISH ICON
THAT WILL HAVE THE NAME
             sulfnbk.exe  DO NOT OPEN IT!!!  IF IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON YOUR
FIRST "SEARCH", TRY A "NEW SEARCH".
        6.  RIGHT CLICK ON THE FILE--GO DOWN TO "DELETE" AND LEFT CLICK.
        7.  YOU WILL BE ASKED IF YOU WANT TO SEND THE FILE TO THE RECYCLING
BIN--SAY YES.
        8.  GO TO YOUR DESKTOP (WHERE ALL THE ICONS ARE) AND RIGHT CLICK ON
THE RECYCLE BIN AND EITHER
             MANUALLY DELETE THE sulfnbk.exe PROGRAM OR EMPYT THE ENTIRE
BIN.
        9.  IF YOU FOUND THE VIRUS ON YOUR SYSTEM, SEND THIS OR A SIMILAR
E-MAIL TO ALL IN YOUR ADDRESS
            BOOK BECAUSE THIS IS HOW IT IS TRANSFERRED.



VERY SORRY.
