Don, the "Virus" is a particularly mean-spirited hoax that's been
circulating for the last couple of weeks.
The file you're worried about is a windows system file. Probably
nothing bad will happen if you delete it, but you ought to dig it out
of your original system disk and re-install it. check with the Hoax
alert page of your choice for more information.
Merry Christmas.

Subject: Your computer may have a virus via my address book
The following is a message from a friend alerting me
to the possibility that my computer might have been
sent a virus because I was in her address book, and
her computer was infected. I followed the steps below
and found the icon for the virus as described. It is
likely your computer also is infected. I used the
following instructions to remove (I hope) the virus
and to block similarly transmitted ones in the future.
I'm sorry about this, but better check your computer.
If you find the virus, alert everyone in your address
book as well.
"You may have this virus in your hard drive because
you are in my address book. Best check it out.
Norton 2002 does not find it on the entry or on a full
disk scan, apparently because it is new or because it
has an .exe extension....The virus lies dormant for 14
days, and then kills your hard drive. Here's how to
stop it....
1. Go to "start (lower left, on your desktop)- then
to "find or search" depending on your computer.
2. In the "search for files or folders" type
sulfnbk.exe This is the virus.
3. In the "look in" make sure you are searching the C
drive. Hit "search button" or "find".
4. If this file shows up DO NOT OPEN!!! It's an ugly
blackish icon that will have the name sulfnbk.exe
5. RIGHT click on the file, go down to delete and
left click.
6. It will ask if you want to send it to the recycle
bin, say yes.
7. Go to your desktop where all your icons are and
double click the recycle bin.
8. Right click on "sulfnbk.exe" and delete again --
or empty the recycle bin.
9. REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER.
10. Send this message to everyone in your address
book, because that is how it is transfered.
11. To keep a virus from attaching itself to your
address book you can do this: create a fictitious
address, one that starts with 0 or anything that will
be at the top of your address book. The bad address
should block anything that tries to attach itself to
the address book.
