Dear All,

So sorry - Bad news: I got this virus, and chances are you have it
too,

since you’re in my address book. It lies dormant for 14 days, then
it

kills

your hard drive.

Thanks Kenny the “C” for passing this information on. I found that I
had

the virus in my computer and was able to delete before it opened up.

Good news: here the directions I received on how to stop it.
By the way, if you’ve got it, send this to everyone in your address
book

so

they clear their drive and it doesn’t come back to you.

The directions for removing it are easy.

  1. Go to ‘start’ - then to ‘find or search’ (depending on your
    computer)
  2. In the ‘search for files or folders’ type in sulfnbk.exe – this
    is

the

virus.
3. In the ‘look in’ make sure you’re searching Drive C.
4. Hit ‘search’ button (or find)
5. If this file shows up (it’s an ugly blackish icon that will have
the

name

‘sulfnbk.exe’) DO NOT OPEN IT
6. Right click on the file - go down to delete and left click.
7. It will ask you if you want to send it to the recycle bin, say
yes.

  1. Go to your desktop (where all your icons are) and double click on
    there

cycle bin.
9. Right click on sulfnbk.exe and delete again - or empty the bin.
10. Then shut down your computer completly for a few minutes then
you can restart it.
If you find it send this email to all in your address book, because
that’s how it’s transferred

Its a hoax.

see http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/hoaxes/sulfnbk.html

to summarise, SULFNBK.EXE is a program which comes with the Windows
95/98 operating system and can be used to backup and restore long
filenames.

Please, please, please if you get a message like this check out one
of the AV Vendors hoax lists before passing it on.
