Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Please check your computer for a virus in your hard drive.  I received one
in my C drive (despite having an up-to-date Anti Virus program running) and
so far it has apparently infected several computers.   Apparently it has so
far not been detected by Norton or  some of the other anti-virus software.
If you have the virus it will affect your address book.  It is however easy
to remove.  The virus hides in your computer for two weeks and then damages
the hard drive irreparably.  YOU NEED TO ACT NOW.

I received the virus through my mailing list and have now deleted it after
receiving the warning from a friend.  Apparently this virus will send itself
to every address in the address book on your computer.  Since you are in my
address book it will probably get to you.  Please take the time to remove it
now.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

The directions to remove it are as follows:  The virus is called sulfnbk.exe

1. Go to "Start" and click on "Find" or "Search"

2. In the box "Find files or folders" write sulfnbk.exe (the virus name)

3. Make sure you are searching the C drive

4. Click on "Find" or "Search"

5. If the file is found you will see a black icon  (kind of looks like
microsoft logo) with the name "sulfnbk.exe"
    The file is a program... DO NOT open it!  If it does not appear,  try
the procedure again.

6.With the curser on the file, click on the right mouse button, and then
click "delete" with the left mouse button.

7.When you are asked if you want to send the file to the Trash or Delete -
click "yes"

8. Go to your desktop (where the icons are) and open the Trash can and
delete the file, manually or by emptying the entire trashbasket.

9. If you found this virus in your computer, send this email to ALL the
people listed in your address book, because the virus is transmitted this
way.  If you don't, aside from ruining their hard drive, the virus will come
back to you, if you are in their address book.

Sorry again for the trouble but it's important you check.
