Robert, this is a hoax. For more information about it, go to http://www.nai.com/asp_set/anti_virus/avert/intro.asp. Under "Latest Virus Info" in the left-hand column, click on "Hoaxes." In the box next to "contains" type something contained in the name of the hoax - in this case 'sulfnbk' will do fine. And there you are. It's apparently been around since April 2001 and was said to be going to ruin things 1 June 2001. Since it's now October 2001, it's obviously a hoax. For more detailed information on it, click on "virus characteristics" in the box way to the right. And, if you're still not sure about it, contact the AVERT folks and ask them. Suggest you put this site in your "favorites" or wherever you keep things you want to go back to. Even if your virus software isn't McAfee, it's a darned good, informative site, giving bunches of details. It's also darned good for real virus info.
