Guest guest Posted December 20, 2001 Report Share Posted December 20, 2001 Deal All I have the newest NOrton Anitvirus and I received this message today. I found the file. Do the search!!! c I was alerted that I might have a virus that is attaching the address book. I did have it and so may you. Please check. If you do, you will want to forward this note to your address book. It is easy to remove. Just follow the instructions below. Beth To get rid of it, do a search for " sulfnbk.exe" (START, SEARCH (Files or Folders), enter name and START SEARCH (Hard Drive) Once it has been identified (I found it in Windows/Command folder), delete it (Right CLICK, Delete, Left CLICK). I accidentally received 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 folder's, 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 (ONLY CLICK ONCE!) - 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 opening screen (where all the icons are) and double click on the recycle bin. 9. Right click on sulfnbk.exe and delete again - or empty the bin. If you DO find it, please send this e-mail to all in your address book, because that's how it's transferred. If you have any questions or would like me to help in any way, please don't hesitate to call me at 616-456-8396. I'll be happy to help any way I can. Warm regards, Beth Johnson we want let the Muggles get us down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2001 Report Share Posted December 21, 2001 sulfnbk.exe is a normal but not very important important file Do not delete it If deleted go to Norton online for information on how to restore it. It is a windows system file. Regards Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
