Virus Alert, and this is the real thing, when I read this, I checked my drive and it was there....

I learned about this virus today, checked my hard drive, found the virus and deleted it. Many others whom I have talked to have found it also so please protect yourself and look for it. Once inside your computer, it will use your address book to infect others.

It is easy to find and destroy, but it apparently lies dormant for 14 days, then kills your hard drive, so please check for it and , if found, delete it and send the warning on to all in your address book.

Here's how to stop it:

If you've got it, send this e-mail to everyone in your address book.

The directions for removing it are easy -

1. Go to 'start' - then to "find or search" (depending on your computer)
2. Open 'search for files' or 'files or folders'
3. In the Name & Location tab, type in sulfnbk.exe -- this is the virus name -- in the 'Named' box.
4. In the 'Look in' box, make sure you're searching Drive C.
5. Hit the "search" button (or find)
6. If this file shows up (it's an ugly blackish icon that will have the name
'sulfnbk.exe') DO NOT OPEN IT
7. Right click on the file - go down to delete and left click.
8. It will ask you if you want to send it to the recycle bin, say yes.
9. Go to your desktop (where all your icons are) and double click on the Recycle Bin.
10. Right click on sulfnbk.exe and delete again - or empty the entire recycling bin. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT YOU DELETE IT FROM THE RECYCLE BIN!!

If you find this file on your "C" drive please send this email to everyone in your address book, because that is how it transfers itself. By sending itself to everyone in your address book and then being activated 14 days later, IT DESTROYS YOUR HARD DRIVE. SO CHECK FOR IT NOW, AND GET RID OF IT!!
