The following is an example of the 'SULFNBK.EXE virus hoax.
Click here to find out why this is a hoax.
It was brought to my attention today that a virus
is in circulation via email. I looked for it and to my
surprise I found it on mine. .. please follow the
directions and remove it from yours TODAY!!!!!!!
No Virus software can detect it. It will become
active on June 1, 2001. It might be too late by then.
It wipes out all files and folders on the hard drive.
This virus travels thru E-mail and migrates to the
'C:\windows\command' folder. To find it and get rid
of it off of your computer, do the following.
Go to the "START" button.
Go to "FIND" or "SEARCH"
Go to "FILES & FOLDERS"
Make sure the find box is searching the "C:"
drive.
Type in: SULFNBK.EXE
Begin search.
If it finds it, highlight it.
Go to 'File' and delete it.
Close the find Dialog box
Open the Recycle Bin
Find the file and delete it from the Recycle
bin
You should be safe.
The bad part is: You need to contact everyone you have
sent ANY E-mail to in the past few months. Many major
companies have found this virus on their computers.
Please help your friends !!!!!!!!
DO NOT RELY ON YOUR ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE. McAFEE and
NORTON CANNOT DETECT IT BECAUSE IT DOES NOT BECOME A
VIRUS UNTIL JUNE 1ST.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT OPEN THE FILE!!!
