RE: VIRUS ALERT!

PLEASE check the validity of these sorts of things before spreading the 
real
virus...

**The warning is a HOAX**  Deleting the file will disable your Windows OS
from restoring long file names.

Subject: VIRUS ALERT!


greetings everyone,  There is yet another virus being passed around for the
holidays.  I picked it up via an e-mail (I hope not from LD, but who
knows....)
     I understand this new virus may not be picked up by anti-virus. i 
found
it in my computer and deleted it. perhaps you would like to check your
system. this is how i deleted it.

  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 everyone in your address book, because
that's how it's transferred.

Max
