Please read the following carefully.

The following IS NECESSARY...to do ASAP...!!!

URGENT. A VIRUS could be in your computer files now, dormant but
will become active on June 1. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS BELOW TO CHECK
IF YOU HAVE IT AND TO REMOVE IT NOW.

It was brought to my attention yesterday that a virus is in circulation
via email. I looked for it and to my surprise I found it on mine. ..
Please follow the directions and remove it from yours TODAY!!!!!!!

No Virus software can detect it because it will become active on June 1,
2001.
It might be too late by then. It wipes out all files and folders on
the hard drive. This virus travels thru E-mail and migrates to the
'C:\windows\command' folder. To find it and get rid of it off of
your computer, do the following.

Go to the "START" button.
Go to "FIND" or "SEARCH"
Go to "FILES & FOLDERS"
Make sure the find box is searching the "C:" drive.
Type in; SULFNBK.EXE
Begin search.

If it finds it, highlight it.
Go to 'File' and delete it.
lose the find Dialog box
Open the Recycle Bin
Find the file and delete it from the Recycle bin
You should be safe.

The bad part is: You need to contact everyone you have sent ANY
E-mail to in the past few months. Many major companies have found this =
virus on
their computers. Please help your friends !!!!!!!!

DO NOT RELY ON YOUR ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE. McAFEE and NORTON CANNOT
DETECT IT BECAUSE IT DOES NOT BECOME A VIRUS UNTIL JUNE 1ST.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT OPEN THE FILE!!!
REMEMBER TO NOTIFY ANYONE YOU HAVE ON YOUR MAIL LIST!
