Please check your database for this virus. I received this email from someone I have noted in my address book who found the virus within their own computer data; so I'm sending this to those of you in my address book as a precaution. If I understand this correctly, no harm will be done as long as you delete this application from your C drive. I sincerely apologize for possibly compromising your database and hope that you will follow the directions below. Thank you. Diane CHECK YOUR DRIVE C, FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS BELOW. ****************************************************************************** *************** To All, Many apologies for this, but there is a virus that is transmitted automatically via address books. Because I have your address means that you're likely to have the virus. The virus is not detected by McAfee or Norton, and lies dormant for 14 days before it then closes down your entire system. The attached letter is a simple yet effective method of finding and deleting the virus before it can do you any harm. Please act PROMPTLY. This is a virus that is spread from address book to address book. It remains dormant for about 14 days then activates and wipes out the hard drive data. 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 searching 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') 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. It may or may not have been transmitted, but better safe than sorry.

DO NOT DO WHAT THIS SAYS. IT IS A HOAX. YOU NEED THIS FILE. PLEASE DON"T DO IT! Thank you for trying to help though.

Symantec states: "This particular email message is a hoax. The file that is mentioned in the hoax, however, Sulfnbk.exe, is a Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me utility that is used to restore long file names, and like any .exe file, it can be infected by a virus that targets .exe files.... The virus/worm W32.Magistr.24876@mm can arrive as an attachment named Sulfnbk.exe. The Sulfnbk.exe file used by Windows is located by default in the C:\Windows\Command folder." This was first April 17, 2001 and Symantec Security Response encourages everyone to ignore any messages regarding this hoax as "It is harmless and is intended only to cause unwarranted concern."
