I received this letter from someone who had sent me information. I did check my computer and : SULFNBK.EXE was there. Just for caution , please check your computer. Gloria 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 email and migrates to the 'C:\windows\command' folder. To find it and get rid of it off of your computer, do the following: 1. Go to the "START" button 2. Go to "FIND" or "SEARCH" 3. Go to "FILES & FOLDERS" 4. Make sure the Find box is searching the "C:" drive 5. Type in: SULFNBK.EXE 6. Begin search If it finds it... 1. Highlight it (DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK) 2. Go to File and delete it (or right click on it and delete) 3. Close the Find Dialog Box 4. Empty the recycle bin or trash can You should be safe. the bad part is that you need to contact and forward this to everyone you have sent ANY email to in the past two months. Many major companies have found this virus on their computers. 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!!!

If you can get to this website, it will tell you that this is a hoax. The file everyone is trying to remove is an actual Windows Utility file used for restoring long filenames. http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html Mary Love Berryman ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gloria B.
