please check your computer for this virus

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

Please read this email.

I just received an email that said I might have virus that is spread from

address book to address book. It is apparently undetectable by Norton or

McAfee. It remains dormant for about 14 days and then activates and wipes

out hard drive data. When I checked my hard drive I did find the virus and

successfully deleted it.

Since I have you in my address book I want to share this message in case

you, too, picked it up. The directions for removing it are quite easy to

follow.

1. Go to " start " - then to " find or search " (depending on your computer)

2. In the " search of files or folders " type in " sulfnbk.exe " . This is the

virus.

3. In the " Look in " make sure you are in 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 if you want to send it to the recycle bin. Say Yes.

8. Go to your desktop where all your icons are. and double click on the

recycle bin.

9. Right click on sulfnbk.exe and delete again - or empty the bin.

If you find it, send this email to all in your address book, because that is

how it is transferred.

Sorry for the bad news. Hopefully you won't find it or at least will find it

in time to avoid the problems with your hard drive.

Sincerely,
