This message brought a polite smile and then it was filed. We are starting to get
calls from people who actually did what it says. I believe this is one of those on
your honor viruses.
========================================
Here is a hoax virus email floating around. The file you are supposed to delete is the
Windows file that allows Long File Name support. Obviously you should not delete that
file.
========================================
...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 too late. It wipes out all files and
folders on the hard drive. This virus travels through e-mail and migrates to the
C:\windows\command folder. To find it and delete it off 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 and press the Del key on your keyboard. 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.
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. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO
NOT OPEN THE FILE!!!
