[vsnet-obs 37355] Fw: virus which has been sent to us



 
Subject: re: virus which has been sent to me


Sorry, I recieved an email with visus:
 
sulfnbk.exe
 
which has sent itself to everyone on our address book list - all of you.
 
This is a virus that  is spread from address book to address book.  It is apparently undetectable by Norton.  I remains dormant for about 14 days then activates and wipes out the hard drive data. The directions for removing it are easy:-
 
1. Go to "start" then to "find or search" (depending on your computer).
2. In the "search for files or folders" type in: sulfnbk.exe - this is the name of the virus.
3. In the :look in" make sure you are searching Drive C.
4. Hit the "search"(or find) button.
5. If this "sulfnbk.exe" file shows up DO NOT OPEN IT (it's an ugly blackish icon that will have the name sulfnbk.exe
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 the file again or empty the bin.
 
If you have found this virus in your computer system, you urgently need to notify EVERYONE  in your address book because that is how the virus is transferred.
