HOAX HOAX HOAX sorry, check here as golfcart states: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html
WELL WAIT---is the email a hoax and COULD that file be infected???
Is it a hoax or? My g/f did a hoaxsearch on it and found nothin, any thoughts (this file IS on my machine):
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT OPEN THE FILE while following the instructions
below!!!
URGENT. A VIRUS could be in your computer files now, dormant but
will become active on June 1. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS BELOW TO CHECK IF YOU HAVE
IT AND TO REMOVE IT NOW.
It was brought to our attention yesterday that a virus is in circulation =
via email. I looked for it and to our surprise we found it on ours. Since
we've corresponded via email, we may have passed it along to you OR you may
have passed it to us. So, 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 rid it from 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---->******DO NOT DO THIS******
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.
