Hi all, I recieved an e-mail from my Aunt as follows:
With my deepest apologies, I regret to inform you that you may have gotten a virus from me. Below you will find the instructions for removing it.
Anyone in my address book probably has it since it lies dormant for 14 days, and then kills your hard drive. It was not discovered by either Norton or AVG. What is a person to do?
Directions for removing it.....
1) Go to "start", and then to "find" or "search".
2) In the "search for files or folders", type in sulfnbk.exe (this is the name of
of the virus)
3) In the "look in", make sure you are searching in Drive C.
4) Hit the "search" or "find" button.
5) If the file shows up (its an ugly blackish icon) it will have the name "sulfnbk.exe"
DO NOT OPEN IT!
6) Right click on the file, and go down to delete and left cklick.
7) It will ask if you want to send it to your recycling bin, click "yes".
8) On your desktop, go to your recycling bin, and double click to open it.
Right click on the sulfnbk.exe and go down to delete again (and left click), or
empty your reclycling bin.
9) VERY IMPORTANT.....Send this email to everyone in your address book
(becasue this is how it gets spread from person to person)so that
they may be able to locate and dispose of this virus as well.
I did a search and found above named Sulfnbk. It wasn't followed by .exe. It was(IS) in C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND. It's 44KB, and it's identified as an application. Anyone know what this is? I have Norton, that didn't find it, and I took the online scan, also no virus detected.
