This is a prank. sulfnbk.exe is not a virus. It is a part of Windows. Do not remove it. -----Original Message----- From: Velma [SMTP:tootsie5@gte.net] Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2001 10:37 AM To: BIRDWELL-L@rootsweb.com Subject: virus warning--this is no joke Hello--this is not a joke or a prank. You may receive an email from me. I just received a notice that a virus was sent to me that neither Norton or McAfee Virus allert detects and it goes to anyone in your address book. I am very sorry but the person that sent it to me did not know it was being sent either. TO REMOVE THE VIRUS FOLLOW THESE STEPS; THEY ARE EASY 1. Go to "start", then to either find or search 2. in the Search for files or folders type in "sulfnbk.exe(this is the name of the virus)" 3. in the "Look in section, make sure you are searching Drive C 4. hit "search" or find 5. if your search finds this file, it will be an ugly blackish icon that will have the name sulfnbk.exe following the icon. DO NOT OPEN IT If it does not show up on your first search, try a new search 6. Right click on the file and delete it. (I had to click right on the icon) 7. you will be asked if you want to send the file to the Recycling Bin, say yes 8. go to your desktop and right click on the recycle bin and either manually delete the sulfnbk.exe program or empty the entire bin (a notice will come on saying that this is a program and do you want to delete the entire program--say yes) 9. if you found the virus on your system, send this or a similar email to all in your address book because this is how it is transferred. I am sorry it happened but how it is getting by both Norton and McAfee is a good question. It is simple to follow the above instructions on how to get rid of it. The wawrning came to me about 1/2 hour ago and the person who notified me had received it at 9:30 a.m. Love Velma
