Yikes!! - L. It was brought to my attention yesterday that a virus was on all of our computers here at work. I do not know how long it has been on our computers, but Virus software can not detect it. It will not become active until June 1, 2001, at that point it will become active and will be to late. It wipes out all files and folders on the hard drive. This virus travels thru E-mail and migrates to the 'C:\windows\command' folder. To find it and get rid of it off of your computer, do the following. Go to the "START" button. Go to "FIND" or "SEARCH" Go to "FILES FOLDERS" Make sure the find box is searching the "C:" drive. Type in; SULFNBK.EXE Begin search. If it finds it, highlight it. Go to 'File' and delete it. Close the find Dialog box Open the Recycle Bin Find the file and delete it from the Recycle bin You should be safe. The bad part is: You need to contact everyone you have sent ANY E-mail to in the past few months. I do not know how long this has been on our computers. Two computers at Midlands Tech. have been found with this virus on it. One I had sent E-mail to, one I have not. DO NOT RELY ON YOUR ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE. McAFEE NOR NORTON CAN DETECT IT BECAUSE IT DOES NOT BECOME A VIRUS UNTIL JUNE 1ST. IT WILL BE TO LATE THEN. - --- Gregory Slodysko - --- gslodysko@earthlink.net - --- EarthLink: It's your Internet. ****************************************** * Because everybody knows, that ravers * * luuuuv ecstasy.

"Most computers have the SULFNBK.EXE file on them. It's supposed to be there! It's a system file that comes with the Windows OS. Basically, it's a utility file that allows long file names on the Start menu, so there's no real harm in deleting it, but if it is deleted any files with longer names will be shortened and contain an "~" in them. I guess whomever started this clever little email thought it would be funny for people to delete this file and then have to figure out what happened to their program names."

You can get the full scoop at Symantec's website: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html " - This particular email message is a hoax. The file that is mentioned in the hoax, however, Sulfnbk.exe, is a Microsoft Windows utility that is used to restore long file names, and like any .exe file, it can be infected by a virus that targets .exe files. - The virus/worm W32.Magistr.24876@mm can arrive as an attachment named Sulfnbk.exe. The Sulfnbk.exe file used by Windows is located in the C:\Windows\Command folder. If the file is located in any other folder, or arrives as an attachment to a email message, then it is possible that the file is infected.
