Re: [cinlist] Fw: Virus Alert!!


Hello to all of you,
 
sulfnbk.exe is NOT a virus. Your Windows 98 System needs this file to work with long names (filenames with more than 8 charakters).
 
So, do not delete. That message was a HOAX  !!!
 
Best regards,

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.
