Title:
Dear Colleagues and Friends, Please pay attention and follow the directions, because I found the virus hiding in my computer waiting to explode on June 1st. If I got it , you may have gotten through my email list. Just like I got it from some one else's list.
             LLL,  Dr. Rick.

> Dear Colleagues,
>
> Copied below is an e-mail I received this morning regarding a virus
programmed to become active June 1.  Because of the delay in activation, it
does NOT show up on virus detection software such as McAffe or Norton.
>
> I checked my computer this morning and found the virus, and so did several
others on my e-mail address list.  No one knows how long the virus has been
in the system. It may have been there for several months already.
>
> I have been advised that on June 1, this virus will become active and wipe
out all files and folders
> on the hard drive of your computer.
>
> The virus travels through e-mail and migrates to the
> 'C:\windows\command' folder.
>
> To find it and get rid of it from 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 this file, highlight it, but DO NOT OPEN 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.
> The GOOD NEWS is you should now be safe.
>
> The BAD NEWS is that if you detect the virus, you in turn need to contact
everyone you have sent ANY e-mail to in the past few months, and share this
warning with them.
>
> Do not rely on your anti-virus software. Neither McAffe nor Norton can
detect this virus because it does not become a virus until June 1. On that
date, it will be too late.  Whatever you do, do not open the file!
>
> Sorry for the inconvenience--I hope that's all it will be.
