Bob, I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but the SULFNBK.EXE message is, in fact, a hoax. While the file does exist, it is not a virus. It is a Microsoft utility that is used to restore long file names. McAfee has an alert about it. You can read it here: http://vil.nai.com/vil/virusSummary.asp?virus_k=99084 Windows Security Administrator also has mention of it: http://www.secadministrator.com/Panda/Index.cfm?FuseAction=Virus&virusID=1 098 It says that deleting this file could actually do harm to your system. Please people, for your own protection, check these things out before you do anything. It's very easy to do by going to places like McAfee ( http://www.mcafeeb2b.com/naicommon/avert/avert-homepage.asp ) or Windows Security Administrator ( http://www.secadministrator.com/ ) or Symantec ( http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ ). Mike Dean -----Original Message-----From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Attention coupers----- This is real, please read it immediately! The lady who sent this to me is a close friend and she was right....I found it on my hard drive. I followered her directions in the attached letter and deleted it then went to my trash and deleted it again. I had to do this before I dared send this warning out. This one is is not a hoax!!! If you find it on your hard drive you might mention it on the net so others who might not believe it will see your post and then take it serious. Bob Saville _____________________________________________________________________ Bob, Please read the following letter that my friend sent me. Unfortunately she sent me mail before and there was a virus attached. DAMN. I found it in my file area. Thankfully, I've sent only a few mails out to people of which you were one---UGGH. I was quickly able to get it off my system. Let me know right away OK? Julie I'M VERY SORRY---(it originally came to her via a teacher from the school district, but I'd still like to kill her!)

The virus has been sent to everyone that she emailed in the past month. I found that I DID, IN FACT, HAVE THE VIRUS. to delete the virus is very simple. The virus is programmed to activate after being on your Hard Drive for a while. Because of the delay in activation, it may not get picked up by Anti - virus programs. (McAfee, Norton, Trend Micro, etc) There's no way of knowing how long this virus has been on the system. It is possible that it has been active several months. When it does become active, IT WILL DESTROY ALL FILES AND FOLDERS ON YOUR HARD DRIVE spreads when you send out emails and places itself into C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND. IN order to find this virus, follow these instructions. Click on "start" choose "search" or "find " choose "for folders or files" name of file to search for "SULFNBK.EXE set to look in: Local Hard Drive select "find"or "search Now" If you find this file DO NOT OPEN IT!!!!!!! select it by right clicking it with your mouse and DELETE it. Go to your recycle bin and permanently dlete it from there. The good news is that YOU HAVE ELEMINATED THE VIRUS ON YOUR COMPUTER. the bad new is that you have transmitted this virus to anyone you may have emailed in the last month or more. Thus the reason for this message. I am truly sorry. Please contact everyone in your address book and pass this message along. << File: ALTERNATIVE.HTM >> << File: ALTERNATIVE.HTM >> ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiLm.aVzvvT Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
