Harold,
THIS IS A HOAX!!
I was also sent this info from a well meaning family member. After several of the people
in their address book deleted the
file, they sent us another email apologizing that they had been misinformed. They also
gave us the following page to check
out the info regarding this HOAX and how to restore the files that you may have deleted.
Please check out the following if
you have had any problems with this:

Please note the virus message below. I did have the virus and was able
to remove it per the instructions below. Since you are currently in my
address book, I urge you to check.
Sorry....

I just received an email that said I might have a virus that 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 check my
hard drive, I did find the virus and successfully deleted it.
Since I have you 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 to follow.
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 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 (its 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 again - or empty the bin.
If you find it, send this email to all in your address book, because
that's how it's transferred.
Sorry for the bad news. Hopefully you won't find it, or at least will
find it in time to avoid the problems with your hard drive.
