Hi John Sorry, I know from Macs, I don't know from Windoze - as I said, I picked that stuff up from other lists similarly assailed, or rather worse. Doesn't it tell you what to do? Seemed more to the point was whether you had the file installed or not. Is it on your HD?

Re: [biofuel] Fwd: FW: virus alert
>NO NO NO don't do it. that file is a necessary windows file. this is a >hoax1 Hey, a spammer and a virus hoax all on the same day. All we need now is an "unsuscribe". First solution: GET A MAC! :-) Second solution, gleaned from Windozers on other lists: Here's the info on this from Symantec. Check the whole thing out at: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html The following hoax email has been reported in Brazil. The original email is in Portuguese; it is followed by an English translation. SULFNBK.EXE is being potrayed as a virus which the programs cannot detect. It is a Windows file that aids with long file names. Yes, as an exec file it COULD become infected someday. If yours gets infected, through careless or accidental behavior, likely your virus program will tell you, THEN. Do not delete this file. The effect will likely not be catastophic. But it's one more chore to have to take care of if you do. Fix for the virus hoax: (See www.mcaffee.com to verify this fix) In the event that the SULFNBK.EXE file was deleted erroneously, the following method may be used to restore the file from backup: -- Windows 98 Instructions -- 1) Click START - RUN, type SFC and hit ENTER 2) In the "Specify the system file you would like to restore" field, type C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\SULFNBK.EXE and hit ENTER 3) In the RESTORE FROM field, type in the path to your WINDOWS CAB files (ie. C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS) (ie. D:\WIN98 where D is the drive letter assigned to your CD-ROM) 4) Click OK and continue with the restore function -- End Windows 98 Instructions -- -- Windows ME Instructions -- 1) Click START - RUN, type MSCONFIG and hit ENTER 2) Click the Extract Files button 3) In the "Specify the system file you would like to restore" field, type C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\SULFNBK.EXE and hit ENTER 4) In the RESTORE FROM field, type in the path to your WINDOWS CAB files (ie. C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\INSTALL) 5) Click OK and continue with the restore function Keith Addison Journey to Forever Handmade Projects Tokyo http://journeytoforever.org/ >Steve Spence >Subscribe to the Renewable Energy Newsletter: >http://www.webconx.com/subscribe.htm > >Renewable Energy Pages - http://www.webconx.com >Palm Pilot Pages - http://www.webconx.com/palm >X10 Home Automation - http://www.webconx.com/x10 >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >(212) 894-3704 x3154 - voicemail/fax >We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, >we borrow it from our children. >-- > >- Original Message - >From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: >Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2001 9:39 PM >Subject: [biofuel] Fwd: FW: virus alert > > > > Dear Friends, > > > > Since i replied to more than once to this egroup.
