Guest guest Posted December 20, 2001 Report Share Posted December 20, 2001 We received the following email from a friend and followed the directions (below) and sure enough found it on our computer. Please follow the directions given below!!! Please check into this on your computer. Do it right away, please. I have been alerted that a virus may have been transmitted to my computer and to everyone in my address book. This virus arrives via email and lays dormant for 14 days, then attacks your hard drive. I got rid of the virus right away. Here is a copy of the information on the virus and how to get rid of it. This virus was on my computer and given that your email address is in my address book, no doubt you have also received this virus. Please follow the instructions below. After you have found this virus, please take the time to forward this email to everyone in your email address book. 1. Go to " start " --then to " find or search " (depending on your computer). 2. In the " search for files or folders " type " 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 end 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 this virus, send this email to all in your address book, because that's how it is transferred! If you have it, get rid of it as soon as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
