It lies dormant for 14 days then it kills your hard drive. I have a fairly recent version of Norton, but it snuck right past. Good news: here the directions I received on how to stop it. By the way, if you've got it, send this to everyone in your address book so they clear their drive and it doesn't come back to you. 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. Delete this file. Either use the delete key or right click on the file - go down to delete and Left click. 7. If you use the mouse, you will be asked 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. Empty the bin. If you find it send this email to all in your address book, because that's how it's transferred.
