Subject: [SUD] Possible Virus
Date: 14 Dec 2001 10:56:18 -0500
The following message came from a professional associate who has my
e-mail information in his computer's address book. I followed the
instructions that he was kind enough to forward, and indeed did find the
virus icon he mentioned.
Based on the apparent validity of his warning, I am forwarding this on
to you. If you find the virus, you may want to pass this info on to
others in your address book. (If you are much more computer literate
than I, and feel someone is perpetrating a hoax on us, please forgive
me, and then share a little of what you know with me.)
I'm only passing this along because it came to me from someone I believe
to be a credible source. (And because the icon he mentions was on my
computer's hard drive.)
Thanks,
Wayne R. Bills

>Please forgive me if this message is sent to you in error. It came to me from a reliable source and despite having a virus protection
my computer was infected. So this is important. I had the virus and you
may have is as well since it attaches itself to address book
files. I hope this message will help to prevent a potential problem in
your system.
This is serious stuff! We found this in our computer, and stopped it.
.But, it already replicated itself and went out to everyone on my
address list. You must act!
I got this virus, and chances are you have it too, since you're in my
address book. It lies dormant for 14 days, then it kills your hard
drive.
Here's how to stop it.
If you've got it, send this to everyone in your address book.
The directions for removing it are easy.
1. Go to 'start' - then to 'find or search' (depending on your computer)
2. In the 'search for files or folders' type in sulfnbk.exe -- this is
the virus.
3. In the 'look in' make sure you're searching Drive C.
4. Hit 'search' button (or find)
5. If this file shows up (it's an ugly blackish icon that will have the
name 'sulfnbk.exe') DO NOT OPEN IT
6. Right click on the file - go down to delete and left click.
7. It will ask you if you want to send it to the recycle bin, say yes.
8. Go to your desktop (where all your icons are) and double click on
the recycle bin.
9. Right click on sulfnbk.exe and delete again - or empty the bin.
If you find it, send this email to all in your address book, because
that's how it's transferred.<

Subject: [SUD] Apologies to all
Date: 14 Dec 2001 12:24:02 -0500
Responding to my request for further education, several of my more
computer savvy friends have already notified me that the earlier virus
alert was/is a hoax.
Please accept my apology, and thanks to those of you who have helped me
further my computer education. I should feel smarter because of it, but
instead I just feel ______________! (fill in the blank)

Here is one of the references I got back.
AVERT HOAX Notice!!
McAfee AVERT Labs would like to inform you of a new email HOAX.
This email message is just a HOAX. Although, the SULFNBK.EXE file may
become infected by a number of valid viruses (most commonly
W32/Magistr@MM, the details of this HOAX message are not based on actual
events.
We are advising users who receive the email to delete the message and DO
NOT pass it on as this is how an email HOAX propagates.
SULFNBK.EXE is a Microsoft Windows utility that is used to restore long
file names
