Subject: Virus
It was brought to my attention yesterday that a virus was on all of our
computers here at work. I do not know how long it has
been on our computers, but Virus software can not detect it. It will not
become active until June 1, 2001, at that point it will
become active and will be to late. It wipes out all files and folders on
the hard drive. This virus travels thru E-mail and migrates to
the 'C:windowscommand' 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.
Close the find Dialog box
Open the Recycle Bin
Find the file and delete it from the Recycle bin
You should be safe.
You need to contact everyone you have sent ANY E-mail to in the past few
months.
I do not know how long this has been on our computers. Two computers at
Midlands Tech. have been found with this virus on it.
One I had sent E-mail to, one I have not.

DO NOT RELY ON YOUR ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE. McAFEE NOR NORTON CAN DETECT IT
BECAUSE IT
DOES NOT BECOME A VIRUS UNTIL JUNE 1ST. IT WILL BE TOO LATE THEN.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT OPEN THE FILE!!!
