Actually
the particular file, SULFNBK.EXE, is a Window utility file. One should
be very hesitant in deleting this file UNLESS they know for certain
that it is infected. For more info,
click on the SYMANTEC link below and do a
search on the said file. Best

THE VIRUS A friend
warned me about a virus that is not detected by McAffee or Norton. It's a
sleeper and eventually wakes up and destroys the data on your hard drive.
I did not find it on the computer I'm sending this from, but it was on the
church computer and on the laptop. To check for
it, use START, FIND, FILES OR FOLDERS and check for a file named
SULFNBK.EXE. If you find it, DELETE it. (Do NOT open it!) Then
empty your Recyled folder. If you have
it, let everyone in your address book know. No. 2 THE
WORM The computer
that I'm sending this from became infected with a worm a couple of weeks
ago. I could not send mail until I removed it. It disrupted
my use of the internet from this computer until I was able to remove it.
I assumed anyone who caught it would have known by the time I could inform
you. I've just become aware that this may not be the case, and the worm
may be functioning without your being aware of it if your computer is newer and
faster than this one. How you may
have caught it -- You would have received a message from me or someone else who
had it that looked like a reply to a message from you. The message field
was blank, but there was an attachment. If you tried to open the attachment,
you started the worm. It started sending replies to your inbox with
replies or random insulting titles. This one is
called the badtrans worm. You can get rid of it with a free program from
Norton. To get it, go to their webpage (www.symantec.com).
At the bottom of the page is a section titled Tools and Downloads. Click
on Download Virus Removal tools. The one you want has the
word Badtrans in it. It will give you all the information on what
you should do. Sorry for the
inconvenience! Elli Elli Elliott Pastor, Zion
