Dear Chuck,
I think you have been taken in by a virus HOAX.   Sulfnbk.exe is a
"ligit"  Windows program file.  That's why Norton's & McAfee have
not listed it yet.    Check it out at the following Internet  Website:

Sincerely,
Wayne

I got a virus warning from a friend, and after checking I learned that I did
have the virus.

This is a new virus--sulfnbk.exe--that is spread from address book to
address book.  Norton and McAfee have not listed it yet.  Also not caught by
my PC-Cillen virus protection.

It will take you a minute or two to remove it.  According to my
information,my it remains dormant for about 14 days and then activates
itself and raises some havoc with you hard drive data.  So please follow
these directions and remove the virus.

The directions for removing are easy.

  1.. Go to "start - then to "find or search ) depending on your computer)
  2.. In the search for files or folder 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 show up (it's an ugly blackish icon that will have the
name "sulfnbk.exe) DO NOT OPEN IT
  6.. Right click --do NOT left 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 -- do NOT left click--on sulfnbk.exe and delete again--or
just empty the recycle bin.
If you find it send this email to all in your address book, because that's
how it's transferred.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
