I am writing this with a very red face and a great deal of embarassment! My message of yesterday was in error in that SULFNBK.EXE is NOT a virus but IS a hoax. SULFNBK.EXE is a Microsoft Windows utility that is used to restore long file names, and should NOT be deleted. I am hoping that few of you deleted it, but if so, you will find instructions for repair at: http://vil.nai.com/vil/virusSummary.asp?virus_k=99084#VirusChar or try: wysiwyg://8/http://vil.nai.com/vil/virusSummary.asp If any of you sent this on to others, I suggest that you let them know about this as soon as possible. Again, I apologize and thank those of you who let me know that this is a hoax, NOT a virus.
I hope you don't feel too badly about this hoax business. It isn't as though you set out to deceive anyone like the rats who initiated this in the first place! You were just trying to help us avoid problems. And I think just about everyone who ever went online has run into this and had to take something back. If anyone writes short-tempered emails just try to ignore them. As for taking out important systems by mistake, newer computers have protections built in. Mine is four years old and it won't let me delete the critical operations systems - no matter how hard I try. :) I, for one, appreciate your intentions. patti shultz > I am writing this with a very red face and a great deal of > embarassment!
