Aloha, all...some of the computers here at Drug-Free Hawaii were infected
with a
virus through e-mail addresses from some outside users, and may have
infected those listed in our own address books; therefore, I am sending this
e-mail to everyone in my address book. Please be sure to read the
information below to check if your computer is infected, and to take
appropriate action. Mahalo!
Subject: Virus
There is a virus which spreads from address book to address book. As a
precaution, I am writing to alert you that you might have caught the virus.
This virus has not yet been detected by Norton or McAfee. It remains dormant
for about 14 days then activates and wipes out the hard drive data. Don't
worry. Perform the diagnostic described below to easily remove the virus.
I did so, found the virus, and removed it from my computer.
Follow this method to check and delete the virus:
1. Go to "Start" on your taskbar, then to "Find" or "Search" (depending
on your computer)
2. In the "Search for Files or Folders", type in sulfnbk.exe -- this is
the name of the virus.
3. In the "Look in" box, make sure you're searching Drive C
4. Hit "Search" button (or "Find" button)
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 and double click the recycle bin icon
9. Empty the bin
If you do end up finding the virus, you may want to forward this email
(I blind copied it) to everyone in your address book as a courtesy.
Hopefully, you won't find it, or at least you will find it in time to
avoid the problems on your hard drive. Good luck.
