Subject: [HACKETT-L] Very Important Virus Alert
Date: Fri, 25 May 2001 17:57:57 EDT


My sister faxed me this alert that was sent to all the computers at the
Credit Union she works at. I am grateful because I found it on both my
computers in the Windows folder.
Therefore I am sending it to all that I can reach to warn them. It is copied
exactly as the memo was circulated to the Credit Union employees, without of
course the Systems Managers email address and extension number copied. I
only typed up the main body of the memo.

<<<VERY IMPORTANT VIRUS ALERT!!!

A new virus is out that is NOT detected by Norton's Antivirus!! This virus
lays on your PC and will activate on Jun 1. It is very important that each
of you follow the below steps to make sure you do not have the virus [the
virus has already been found in the Credit Union] -

On you START button in the lower left corner....click on it ONCE with your
RIGHT mouse button.

On the menu that will pop up, go up to FIND and click on it ONCE with your
LEFT mouse button.

The FIND menu will come up and you need to make the following entries:
NAMED: SULFNBK.EXE
CONTAINING TEXT: leave this blank
LOOK IN: click once on the arrow to the right and then select the C:
drive.

After these entries are made, click on the FIND NOW button.

If the virus is on you PC, you will see an icon and name appear in the lower
box on the menu [ the file will be named sufnbk.exe or may appear simply
sufnbk without showing the .exe] If you see it DO NOT OPEN !!! Click on it
ONE TIME with your RIGHT mouse button and a menu will appear. From that
menu, select DELETE.

After this, click on the X in the upper right corner to close the FIND
menu....BUT, if you had the virus, you are not finished yet....

Return to your main desktop [where you see MY COMPUTER, MY DOCUMENTS, just
like when you first log on in the mornings] and click ONCE on your Recycle
BIN with your RIGHT mouse button and a menu will appear. Click ONCE on
EMPTY THE RECYCLE BIN. NOW, you are finished.

Please take care of this right away. >>>>>>
