    3. A friend sent this to us and my computer had the virus from a message sent to Tina from her friend -------------------------------------- Subject: Virus I received this note this morning. I found this virus in my file and deleted it. Please do the same to prevent damage to your computer. The person who sent this to me apologises for the inconvenience. It is very important that you do this! We have unwittingly just been infected with a virus from someone's email. This virus sends itself to all the addresses in the address book of the computer it has arrived at. Since you are in our address book, it will get to you. Take the time and remove it now - the instructions are easy to follow and we got rid of the virus in about 30 seconds. Some versions of anti virus software including Norton and Inoculate T have not been able to detect it. It is said that the virus hides in the computer for 2 weeks and then damages the dist irreparably. The virus is called sulfnbk.exe. Many apologies for the trouble this is causing. 1. Go to "Start" and click on "find." 2. In the box "find files or folders" write sulfnbk.exe (the name of the virus). 3. Make sure you are searching in the C-Drive (check in the box marked "Search in"). 4. Click on Find or Search. 5. If the file is found you will see an ugly black icon with the name sulfnbk.exe. The file is a program. DO NOT OPEN IT!!! If it does appear, try the same procedure again. 6. Click on the RIGHT button of the mouse, on the file, and then click on delete with the LEFT button of the mouse. 7. You will be asked if you want to send the file to the wastebasket. Respond YES. 8. Go to the Desktop (where all the icons are), open the wastebasket and eliminate the file, manually or by emptying the entire wastebasket. 9 If you find this virus in your computer, send this email to all the people in your address book, because the virus is transmitted in this way. If you don't warn them, aside from ruining their hard disk, it will come back to you if you are in their address book. Once again, apologies.
