Guest guest Posted December 26, 2001 Report Share Posted December 26, 2001 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.
