Subject: Virus that may be in the computers

Dear all,

My apologies, but I may have passed a serious virus on to you via e-mail.

Copied below is an e-mail I received this morning regarding this virus
programmed to become active June 1. Because of the delay in activation, it
does NOT show up on virus detection software such as McAffe or Norton.

I checked my computer this day and found the virus, and so did several
others on my e-mail address list. No one knows how long the virus has been
in the system. It may have been there for several months already.

On June 1, this virus will become active and wipe out all files and folders
on the hard drive of your computer.

The virus travels through e-mail and migrates to the 'C:\windows\command'
folder.

To find it and get rid of 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 this file, highlight it, but DO NOT OPEN IT
Go to "File" and delete it.
Close the FIND dialog box
Open the Recycle Bin
Find the file and delete it from the Recycle bin.
The GOOD NEWS is you should now be safe.

The BAD NEWS is that if you detect the virus, you in turn need to contact
everyone you have sent ANY e-mail to in the past few months, and share this
warning with them.

Do not rely on your anti-virus software. Neither McAffe nor Norton can
detect this virus because it does not become a virus until June 1. On that
date, it will be too late. Whatever you do, do not open the file!

Sorry for the inconvenience--I hope that's all it will be.

Sincerely,
Drew Hall
