We have recently received a virus from a contact
through our E-mail, and since you are in our address book, you probably
have it too. We were able to delete the virus by following the
instructions below. The virus itself remains dormant for 14 days and
then it kills your hard drive. It is invisible to Norton Antivirus
and MWEB virus firewalls!!
To remove the virus simply:
1. Go to !Start!. Then click FIND
files.
2. In the search for "files or
folders" type sulfnbk.exe - the name of the
virus.
3. In the "Find: All files" section
make sure you are searching in drive C
4. Hit the find button.
5. If your search finds this file, it
will be an ugly blackish icon that will have the name sulfnbk.exe.
Whatever you do DO NOT OPEN IT!
6. Right click on the file - go down
to "Delete" and left click.
7. You will be asked if you want to
send the file to the recycling bin - say "Yes".
8. Go to your Desktop (where all your
icons are) and right click on the recycle bin and either manually delete
the sulfbnk or empty the entire bin.
9. If you found the virus on your
system, send this to all in your address book because this is how it is
transferred.
10 If it does not show up on your
first "search" then try a new search.
Sorry for the trouble and our apologies for having
unwittingly "infected" you, should it have been passed on to
you.
Although this E-mail
and any attachments has been checked by InoculateIT and are believed to be
free of any virus or defect which might affect any computer or IT system
into which they are received and opened, it is the responsibility of the
recipient to ensure that they are virus free and no responsibility is
accepted by the sender.
