Subject: Virus
To: Everyone in my address book.
I got this virus and chances are you have it too since you are all in my =
address book. It lies dormant for 14 days, and then kills your hard =
drive.
Here's how to stop it:
Remove it by following these steps:
1. Go to "start" - then to "find or search" (depending on your =
computer).
2. In the "search for files or folders" type 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 e-mail to all in your address book, because =
that's how it's transferred!
I again apologize for this mess. It was very innocently sent to me. I =
am thankful that the person who sent it to me warned me and I am passing =
this warning onto you. Please do take the time to check to see if you =
have received this virus and be sure to delete it from your computer.
