Hello All, I will apologize in advance for breaking the list rules, but this is absolutely real, so I am sticking my neck out anyway. We recieved this e-mail from a friend and followed the steps below and WE HAD THIS VIRUS TOO! Chances are you do also. I suggest that you follow the steps listed below as we did. Ours is gone now. Sorry to start off the New Year this way, but atleast we can be on top of this. Good Luck........ Marla --------------------------- I received a message from a friend concerning a virus that was attached to her address book. I have found this virus on my C drive. I did not open it but it still could have spread to everyone in my address book - you are in my address book. It lies dormant for 14 days, then crashes your hard drive. It is easy to stop it if you find you have it. If you have it, you will need to advise everyone in your address book in the same manner as this message. The directions for removing it are as follows: 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 are searching C drive. 4. Hit the search button or find 5. If this file shows up it's an ugly black icon with the above noted DO NOT OPEN IT! 6. Right click on the file - go down to delete and left click. 7. It will ask about the recycle bin - say yes 8. Go to your desktop and double click on the recycle bin. 9. Right click on ugly black icon sulfnbk.exe and again delete again IF YOU FIND IT NOTIFY ALL IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK BECAUSE THAT'S HOW IT IS TRANSFERRED!!!

DO NOT delete that file, your Windows needs it. THIS IS an OLD hoax... You definately did stck your neck out too far. There are several places to ck for validity of virii, including Symantec.com and McAfee. BTW, if you have already deleted that file, you can get it back from Microsoft.
