From: "Wayne R. Bills" Subject: [SUD] Possible Virus Date: 14 Dec 2001 10:56:18 -0500 The following message came from a professional associate who has my e-mail information in his computer's address book. I followed the instructions that he was kind enough to forward, and indeed did find the virus icon he mentioned. Based on the apparent validity of his warning, I am forwarding this on to you. If you find the virus, you may want to pass this info on to others in your address book. (If you are much more computer literate than I, and feel someone is perpetrating a hoax on us, please forgive me, and then share a little of what you know with me.) I'm only passing this along because it came to me from someone I believe to be a credible source. (And because the icon he mentions was on my computer's hard drive.) Thanks, Wayne R. Bills Consultant, Speaker, Coach Personal Effectiveness Institute 336-759-7759 >Please forgive me if this message is sent to you in error. It came to me from a reliable source and despite having a virus protection my computer was infected. So this is important. I had the virus and you may have is as well since it attaches itself to address book files. I hope this message will help to prevent a potential problem in your system. This is serious stuff! We found this in our computer, and stopped it. .But, it already replicated itself and went out to everyone on my address list. You must act! I got 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 folders' 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 - 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 (where all your icons are) and double click on the recycle bin. 9. Right click on sulfnbk.exe and delete again - or empty the bin. If you find it, send this email to all in your address book, because that's how it's transferred.< Brasil-SUD - conversão e informação para os membros da Igreja SUD.
