I am sorry to have caused a fuss. I thought I was doing a good thing. I regret any anxiety or inconvenience that I have caused. The source of the info was from a trusted friend who is generally computer competent. Now I have to restore that file on this machine. Thanks to all for the correction and the information needed to repair the damage.

Sulfnbk.exe is part of windows operating system and is a long file name backup utility. It is on your hard drive if you have windows installed, and should not be deleted. http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html Gary -----Original Message----- From: James Osbourne, Holmes [mailto:a...@cybermesa.com] Sent: Saturday, December 08, 2001 9:37 AM To: Mike Devour; Silver-List Subject: CS>Virus Alert Hello, I received the following message on Saturday 12-8-01 AM from a friend with whom I correspond occasionally. When I searched I found the file SULFNBK.EXE in C:/windows/command, and deleted it. It has been over a month since I corresponded with him. The message I received: ---start of message--- Please check the following information to see if we transferred a VIRUS to anyone. I was sent this from a client -- and we did have it on our C-Drive. Sorry -- we hope this hasn't transferred to you. Do the following instructions: This is a time release virus which means that Norton and MacAfee Anti- virus do not pick it up until it is too late. I was told that the virus may have attached itself to everyone in my address book, and that I should send this warning to all of you regardless of whether or not I have emailed you in the past week or so. Please follow the following directions to see if you have the virus and if you do, to eliminate it. Click on "start". Choose "find" or "search". Choose "files and /or folders". Select "find". Select "C drive". The file to search for is: SULFNBK.EXE If you find this file, DO NOT OPEN IT! SELECT THE FILE BY right clicking ON YOUR MOUSE AND DELETE IT! Then close the window and EMPTY YOUR RECYCLE BIN. Then email everyone in your address book and ask them to follow the same procedures. ---end of message--- James-Osbourne: Holmes
