This is an open letter to all readers: It takes just a few moments to do a web search. PLEASE, before posting information about supposed viruses, do a web search for hoaxes. I know, that if you learn about a supposed virus you will want to warn all of your friends as quickly as possible. That's good. But if it is a hoax, spreading false information may do more harm than good. Unfortunately, SULFNBK.EXE is a hoax. Check it out at the following website. For those who don't know, Symantec is one of the premier antivirus companies in the world. Their anti-virus laboratory, SARC, is considered one of the best. http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html The file that is mentioned in the hoax, Sulfnbk.exe, is a Microsoft Windows utility that is used to restore long file names. It was originally reported in April (it was originally in Portugese). Your computer, in certain situations, may have difficulty if you delete this file. Thank you for caring and wanting people to know. Prems, Shambhalanath Tantrism, "AnandaYogi" <ozyogi@h...> wrote: > Namaste Mates > > This was forwarded to me by Thanasekaran.
