Here's the link to Symantec's writeup on this hoax. It also has advice on how to get back the file if you deleted it. http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html Note that you should ALWAYS check with Symantec (or your antivirus site of choice) before forwarding a virus warning: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/index.html Usually these hoaxes are just annoying, but in this case it looks like actual damage can be done. My apologies to the List Owner for continuing an off-topic thread. ----- Original Message ----- From: "D J Peirce" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2001 2:07 PM Subject: RE: [SCOTT] Virus Warning > Check the Virus Sites....I saw a notice that it was a hoax and if you delete > it, it will damage your programs...I also have it on my computer....check > before you delete... > > Doris....A Texan in Georgia; > Still shaking the family tree, > and dodging the nuts after 35+years! > <Member IBSSG> > > -----Original Message----- > From: Max Scott [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2001 4:29 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [SCOTT] Virus Warning > > > This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > --------------C491E908BF5C086FCF4E6128 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > I was alerted to a dated virus "SULFNBK.EXE".
