    3. Everyone, I check and I found this virus on my computer, so as you are all in my address book I ask that you do the same and check your own computers. Better safe than sorry!!!!!! Subject: FW: MY VIRUS ALERT - DO NOT DISREGARD This is a virus that is spread from address book to address book. It is apparently undetectable by Norton and McAfee. It remains dormant for about 14 days then activates and wipes out the hard drive data. 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. Right click on the file - go down to delete and left click. 7. It will ask you 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. Right click on sulfnbk.exe and delete again - or empty the bin. If you find it, send this email to all in your address book, because that's how it's transferred.
