HI everyone!! I sent this to my whole address book. Some addresses I
don't even know. It has been a
while since I cleaned it out:) This virus was sent to me from a friend
(unaware of it of course) and
he had the most updated virus scan program!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HAD IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please read and follow the
steps. It is probably on your hard drive too.
I followed the instructions below and found I had it, so quickly took
care of it. Chances are, you all have it because I checked
to see if I did, and I did. It transfers to who ever is in your address
book. It lies dormant for 14 days, then kills your hard
drive.
Here's how to stop it.
If you've got it, send this to everyone in your address book.
1. go to start-then to 'find or search'
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 (it's an ugly blackish icon that will have the
name sulfnbk.exe) DON'T OPEN IT
6. Right click on the file - go down to delete and left click
7. It will ask 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 just empty the recycle
bin
If you find this...send it to everyone in your address book, because
that's how it's transferred.
