Dear McAfee.com Dispatch Subscriber:
An email HOAX has been circulating recently that has
received a lot of press and public attention. The subject
line may contain ***Virus Alert*** or mention SULFNBK.exe.
If you receive a copy of this message, you should ignore it.
Do NOT pass it on as this is how an email hoax spreads. You
may receive a copy of this message from addresses that you
recognize.
DO NOT DELETE ANY FILES FROM YOUR COMPUTER.
There are several versions of this message circulating, in
several different languages. The email message may appear
in part as follows:
A VIRUS could be in your computer files now, dormant but
will become active on June 1. Try not to USE your Computer
on June 1st. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS BELOW TO CHECK IF YOU HAVE IT
AND TO REMOVE IT NOW.
No Virus software can detect it. It will become active
on June 1, 2001. It might be too late by then. It wipes out
all files and folders on the hard drive. This virus travels
thru E-mail and migrates to the C:\windows\command' folder.
The email will also instruct you to delete SULFNBK.exe and
to pass the message along to everyone you know.
SULFNBK.exe is a standard part of the Windows operating
system and SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED.

how to replace SULFNBK.exe if you have already deleted it,
