Please ignore the instructions printed below. THIS IS A "VIRUS" HOAX! "sulfnbk.exe" is merely an obscure MS Windows file (without which your computer will lose its 'ability' to decipher all your convenient "long file names" and truncate all your file names to DOS based 8 letter names). Please, folks, before any of you panic about such 'viruses', go to any of the anti-virus sites and check your 'virus' against their lists. I do believe McAfee also has a short write up on this particular hoax. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ICPJ" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2001 16:10 Subject: Fwd: Important info on a virus I found (fwd) [WWW.STOPNATO.ORG.UK] > HTTP://WWW.STOPNATO.ORG.UK > --------------------------- > > > > Sorry about this but I received this from someone on my email address list > Dec. 15 and just now read it.
