So I'm sending it to you so you can check, just in case. Happy New Year John and Helen Robinson "Dear All, I am sorry for this just at this busy time, but I have just received a virus warning from someone that they have passed on a virus to all their mailing list and apprantely it fixes itself on to all my mailing list ... it is not picked up by Norton or other programs. I have checked my machine and have found the virus and deleted it. Apparently you have 14 days where it lays dormant and then it will shut down your whole machine. The following is how to get it off your machine and is easy to follow. The directions for removing it are easy. 1. Go to 'start' - then to 'find or search' (depending on your computer). 2. In the 'search for files or folders' type in sulfnbk.exe - this is the virus. 3. In the 'look in' make sure you're search Drive C. 4. Hit 'search' button (or find). 5. If this file shows up (it's an ugly blackish icon that will have the name 'sulfnbk.exe' or 'sulfnbk') DO NOT OPEN IT. 6. Right click on the file - go down to delete and left click. 7. It will ask you if you want to send it to the recycle bin - say yes. 8. Go to your desktop (where all your icons are) and double click on the recycle bin. 9. Right click on 'sulfnbk.exe' and delete again - or empty the bin. If you find it send this email to all in your address book, because that's how it's transferred. Trust this will not cause you too much inconvenience. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Sorry about this folks, but it is easy to fix if I can do it!!!
