-Subject: Fw: Virus Alert!
-
I have received an email
saying that I might have 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.
I checked my hard drive, located the virus andsuccessfully
deleted it. Since you are in my address book, you may like to do the same. 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 are searching Drive C.4.
Hit 'search' button or 'find'.5.
If this file shows up (it is an ugly blackish icon that will have the name
'sulfnbk.exe') - DO NOT OPEN IT.6.
RIGHT click on the file - go to 'Delete' and LEFT click.7.
It will ask whether you wish to send it to the recycle bin, say 'Yes'.
8. Go to Windows Explorer
or wherever you display your Recycle Bin
and double click on it.9
.RIGHT click on 'sulfnbk.exe' and delete again or empty the bin. If you
do find it, send this email to all in your address book, because
that is how it is transferred. Sorry about this.
