Do not believe all you see on the 'net. Please read and heed the following information received from one of the lists I'm on. Taking action based on a fraudulent virus warning could damage your system. John E Fischer FORWARD>>>>>>>> [I have to wonder whether the forwarding of "Hoax a-comin'!!" messages might be as bad or worse than the hoaxes themselves.... Anyway, in addition to the C'serve warning, here's the Symantec info: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html -- Brad] Beware: Hoax E-Mail Could Trick You Be Net savvy! Do not believe everything you read--even in your own e-mail box. An e-mail message is making the rounds that suggests people should delete a vital Windows file to prevent a virus from attacking their PCs on Friday. It's a hoax! If you receive such an e-mail, do NOT delete the file, which is SULFNBK.EXE. This is not a virus waiting to be activated on June 1. Rather, this file helps Windows re-create long file names if they get corrupted. The e-mail message reads: "It was brought to my attention yesterday that a virus is in circulation via e-mail. I looked for it and to my surprise I found it on mine. Please follow the directions and remove it from yours TODAY!!!!!" The message continues to say that the file slips itself into the c:/Windows/Command folder where it remains dormant until Friday when it will suddenly activate and wipe out all files and folders. NOT TRUE! The e-mail message isn't being spread across the Internet by some insidious Microsoft Outlook virus; instead, it's being spread by well- meaning friends who think they're protecting one another. If you've already been tricked by the message and deleted SULFNBK.EXE, use your Windows CD to reinstall another copy. --Cathryn Conroy Get a shot of viral protection!
