Hi--If you go to the following web site, you will find the write up telling you this is another hoax http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html. These things come around so frequently, I have found it is best to check them out at the site which is the authority on these things: www.symantec.com Hope this helps, Sue Waechter At 05:34 PM 5/28/2001 -0500, Ernie and Ruth Kidwell wrote: >Sent: Monday, May 28, 2001 2:37 PM >Subject: Fw: VIRUS IN MY COMPUTER--I usually ignore these, but I DID have >this one in my computer! > > > > FOUND THIS IN MY COMPUTER ALSO: CAROLINE > > > > Subject: VIRUS IN MY COMPUTER--I usually ignore these, but I DID have this > > one in my computer! > > > > > > It was brought to my attention that a virus is on most of the computers.
