Albert himself has fallen into the
trap of
interpreting the Brownian motion as a result of molecular motion
in a
wrong light. The molecular motion it is, but it is motion generated by
evaporation, by breakage and expansion of closed valence bonds of a
liquid. I was labouring under the same delusion since school days. But my
friend
Slavek, updated me. I do not ignore any warning on internet viruses, real or
otherwise.

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.

This is a fairly old virus hoax. 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.

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.
