<<<Subject: URGENT - VIRUS ELIMINATION>>>


The file alerted to us as being a virus is probably not a virus. It is part of
MS Windows. You will find the file on your computer, assuming you are running
MS Windows. The file sulfnbk.exe should be found in the following directory:
C:\Windows\Command (or equivalent if your computer is set up slightly
differently). If it is in a different directory then it may be a virus, but it
is highly unlikely that you will locate it elsewhere. The message being sent
out is part of a known hoax and though it has been known for a virus to be
given the same name it is highly unlikely that anyone has this virus.

More information at:
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html

Please, if you are forwarded a virus warning, do not at first forward it on.
Most are hoaxes. Start by going to one of the big virus checking companies
(McAfee, Symantec, CAI) and search their database of known virus warning and
hoaxes. Only if you find it to be an actual virus should you then consider
forwarding the warning.

More trouble can be caused by following the instructions in a hoax virus
report than by catching most viruses. Some of the hoaxes attempt to get you to
delete important files from your computer. Please check the warnings first.
