Hold on there, cowboy. A quick check with www.cai.con/virusinfo/encyclopedia/ would save everyone a lot of heartache. I always check here first before acting to any virus notification. Below is a direct quote from their web page. SULFNBK.EXE As well as portraying all the standard hoax features, (warns of a dire 'danger' then suggests that the receiver should send it onto all of their friends to minimize the damage that the 'virus' may cause) this E-mail hoax advises the user to delete the file SULFNBK.EXE which it states is a virus. For greater impact and added realism, this hoax mentions that the information contained within has been garnered from a competitor's anti-virus site. Two things should be noted about the file SULFNBK.EXE. First, it is a standard utility program included with some versions of Windows and normally installed in the 'Command' subdirectory of the Windows installation directory. It has a somewhat odd icon that often leads users to be suspicious of it, and this is not helped by the fact that the EXE file does not have an extended 'properties sheet' if right-clicked in Explorer and its 'Properties' viewed. Second, because of its location and size and being a PE-style EXE, SULFNBK.EXE is commonly included as an attachment in email messages sent by the Win32.Magistr virus. Thus, if you receive a copy of SULFNBK.EXE as an email attachment, that could well be an infected copy of the file and an indication that the sender is infected with Win32.Magitsr. View the hoax. -----Original Message----- From: James Genzling [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 28, 2001 11:55 PM To: coupers Subject: [COUPERS] A VIRUS ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- This one is no Joke, I found it on mine, Jimi I JUST RECEIVED THIS FROM A FRIEND.
