Subject: [LAORLEAN-L] Virus alert! You are in my e-mail address book
Date: Wed, 2 Jan 2002 17:50:45 -0800


I received this message, checked it out and had the little bugger in my C
drive. You are in my address book, so please check-I don't want to be
responsible for this kind of destruction. It lies dormant for 14 days, and
then kills your hard drive. Here's how to stop it. If you've got it, you
must send this to everyone in your address book.

Remove it by following these steps:

1. Go to "start" - then to "find or search" (depending on your computer).
2. In the "search for files or folders" type sulfnbk.exe -- this is the
virus.
3. In the "look in" make sure you're searching Drive C
4. Hit "search" button (or find)
5. if this file shows up (it's 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 as 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 again-- or empty the bin.

If you find it, send this e-mail to all in your address book, because that's
how it's transferred! >>
