Not sure where I got it, (and it's | gone now). I don't know about the validity of this "June 1st" stuff - but I | did find it and want to alert everyone I've e-mailed to check for it. | Better safe than sorry. | | LISTERS: I know the rootsweb lists are not for virus alerts, but I felt a | moral responsibility to warn anyone I've e-mailed. Please forgive me. | | | Subject: WARNINGS TO EVERYONE YOU'VE COMMUNICATED WITH ON INTERNET | URGENT. A VIRUS could be in your computer files now, dormant but will | become active on June 1. | | FOLLOW DIRECTIONS BELOW TO CHECK IF YOU HAVE IT AND TO REMOVE IT NOW. | | It was brought to my attention today that a virus is in | circulation via email. I looked for it and to my surprise I | found it on mine. | Please follow the directions and remove it from yours | TODAY!!!!!!! | | No Virus software can detect it. It will become active on | June 1, 2001. It might be too late by then. It wipes out all files and | folders on the hard drive. This virus travels thru E-mail and migrates to | the 'C:\windows\command' folder. To find it and get rid of it off of your | computer, do the following: | | Go to the "START" button. | Go to "FIND" or "SEARCH" | Go to "FILES & FOLDERS" | Make sure the find box is searching the "C:" drive. | | Type in; SULFNBK.EXE | Begin search. | If it finds it, highlight it. | Go to 'File' and delete it. | Close the find Dialog box | Open the Recycle Bin | Find the file and delete it from the Recycle bin | You should be safe. The bad part is: You need to contact everyone you have | sent ANY E-mail to in the past few months. Many major companies have found | this virus on their computers. Please help your friends !!!!!!!! | | DO NOT RELY ON YOUR ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE. McAFEE and NORTON CANNOT DETECT IT | BECAUSE IT DOES NOT BECOME A VIRUS UNTIL JUNE 1ST. | | WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT OPEN THE FILE!!! | | | | ==== KY-ROLLCALL Mailing List ==== | If you wish to subscribe to or unsubscribe from the Kentucky Roll Call list, use | KY-ROLLCALL-l-request@rootsweb.com or KY-ROLLCALL-d-request@rootsweb.com if | you are on the Digest list. | To learn more about my world visit http://dwp.bigplanet.com/kburnett | | ============================== | Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial and enjoy access to the #1 | Source for Family History Online.
