Pat What you received was a hoax, or worse. Sulfnbk.exe is a file that is part of Windows. DO NOT DELETE IT. I understand from another site that If you go to Symantic Hoaxes the instructions are there.... It will also tell you that it is an optional file and you don't have to restore. It is for files with long names. Jim Hobbs ================================== Pat Ware wrote: >A virus was passed on to me and it resends to everyone in my address book. Please follow the instructions to delete this virus before it activates. It lies dormant for 14 days. It is very easy to detect and delete. If you have it you will have passed it on to everyone in your address book. Follow the steps below to first see if you have been infected and then delete it. Sorry for the problem. Pat > >1.
