Fwd: Virus alert- re: files that were in my computer

[Anne McBee <amcbee2000@yahoo.com>]

Hi, I just got this alert in my e-mail and sure enough, there was the file... have no idea where it managed to get thru my virus sheild etc... but as instructed in the following info I have removed it from my files and am sending the alert to everyone who was in my address book, as I know some of these things indiscriminately  send stuff out to people and leave no trace in the originating computer.... hope none of you find any thing...and who knows for sure if it's truly nasty or not... I guess it's better to be safe than sorry.

Please see the following alert. I did find this virus file, which means you could have it because it attaches to everyone in your address book.

Check out web site that says this warning is a hoax.

your address book.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Following are instructions for removing a virus that

was inadvertently passed on to you from my address book, which someone

else's address book passed on to me.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT FOLLOW AS THE VIRUS

2. In the Search for file or folders type in

sulfnbk.exe

4. Hit Search button (or find)

5. If this file shows up (it's an ugly blackish icon

that will have the

6. RIGHT CLICK on the file - go down to delete and

left click.

7. Click on yes and send it to the recycle bin.
