[norine@sover.net: VIRUS WARNING]
Please read the following before removing the file:
http://www.europe.f-secure.com/hoaxes/sulfnbk.shtml
You can find this info on many other sites as well, this was just the 1st
one returned on my search.
Short story - if you received it as an attachment, it might be bad... if you
found it in your Windows directory, it's probably OK.

Hi.
This is to let you know a virus was passed to me - it copies your
address book - it may be a hoax, also, but supposedly it remains dormant for
two weeks then launches itself, to wipe out your hard drive. I believe it's
a hoax, but who knows? Too bad there are people out there who have nothing
better to do than make things miserable for everyone else.
Do a search for the file sulfnbk.exe and if you find it, delete it.
Then empty the recylce bin if your machine has that feature. I also did a
virus scan after that, and it came up empty. Use your own judgement, but
it's my duty to warn you.
Dorine
