Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 I just received a note that I received a virus that you may now have too. PLEASE CHECK YOUR HARD DRIVE! I received the virus today, 12/15/01. My virus scanner did not pick it up. This virus is spread from address book to address book. It is apparently undetectable by Norton and McAfee. It remains dormant for about 14 days then activates and wipes out the hard drive data. When I checked my hard drive I did find the virus and successfully deleted it. Since you are in my address book, I want to share this message in case you too, picked it up. The directions for removing it are quite easy.... 1. Go to 'start' - then 'find or search' 2. In the 'search for files or folders; type in 'sulfnbk' this is the virus (DO NOT OPEN) 3. In the 'look in' make sure you are search drive C 4. Hit the 'search' button (or find) 5. If this file shows up (it is an ugly blackish icon that will have the name 'sulfnbk.exe') DO NOT OPEN IT 6. Right 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 on 'sulfnbk.exe' and delete it again - or empty the recycle bin 10. If you find it, send this email to all in your address book, because that is how it is transferred. Sorry for the bad news. Hopefully, you won't find it or at least will find it in time to avoid the problems on your hard drive. -- Janie Walk softly, Live gently ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Reconnective Healing / The Reconnection ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Usui Reiki Ryoho, SKHM/Seichem LightarianReiki & Lightarian Rays Classes in person - New Jersey ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Love means to love that which is unlovable; or it is no virtue at all. ~Gilbert K.
