!!!! Is this a hoax? I have found this on my C drive!!!!!!!

Virus Alert

There appears to be an insidious virus going around. It's sent with any e-mail from a computer that's already been infected. The person whose computer is infected probably doesn't know it, because this virus apparently takes a while to be activated.

I've been told that the virus is programmed to activate after being on your C drive for some specific period of time (I do not know how long that is). Because of the delay in activation, it will not get picked up by anti-virus programs such as Norton, etc. When it does become active, my sources say that it will erase all files & folders on your hard drive.

The virus gets spread when you send out e-mails -- it filters into c:\windowscommand or other locations. After I heard about it, I took the following steps that were recommended, & to my surprise, I found the virus on my computer. I eliminated it easily. You should check your computer just to make sure you don't have it.

In order to find out if you have the virus, follow these simple instructions:

Click start (in the windows menu)
Choose "find"
Choose "files and folders"
Select "c drive"
Search for: sulfnbk.exe

If you find this file, do not open it!
Select it by right clicking your mouse & then delete it.

Then close the window and "empty" your recycle bin.
