>I am notifying you as you are in my address book. Here message says even if I haven't e-mailed you the virus can pick up address through the address book. If you find the icon, besure to right click and delete it then empty your recycle bin..

>To protect your address from everyone seeing it, I have forwarded this to you under bc: blind copy with myself on the To: line.

>Subject: sulfnbk virus

>This was just sent to me....I checked my files and it had been spread to me. It's simple to fix....Marty
>Sorry- Bad news Someone sent this virus to me through their address book and chances are you have it too, since you are in my address book. It lies dormant for 14 days, then kills your hard drive.
>Good news is I have the directions to stop it before it spreads. If you have the virus, send this to everyone in your address book so they clear their drive and it does not come back to you.
>DIRECTIONS TO REMOVE
>1. Go to "Start" then 'find or search' depends on your computer
>2. In the 'search for files or folders' 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 shows up (it's an ugly black icon with the name sulfnbk.exe under it) DO NOT OPEN
>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 again or empty your bin
>
>If you find the virus send this email to all in your address book, because that is how it is transferred. It is my understanding that the virus goes entirely undetected until it destroys your hard drive. It silently has sent this file to all in your address book, even if you have not sent these people an email recently. It is not attached to this file.

>Sorry about the inconvenience........Marty
