AVERT HOAX Notice!!

McAfee AVERT Labs would like to inform you of a new email HOAX.

This email message is just a HOAX. Although, the SULFNBK.EXE file may become 
infected by a number of valid viruses (most commonly W32/Magistr@MM, the 
details of this HOAX message are not based on actual events.

We are advising users who receive the email to delete the message and DO NOT 
pass it on as this is how an email HOAX propagates.

SULFNBK.EXE is a Microsoft Windows utility that is used to restore long file 
names

Below is the actual text from the message that may be received via email. 
There are numerous variations on these messages.

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. To find it and get 
rid of it off of your computer, do the following.
Go to the "START" button.
Go to "FIND" or "SEARCH"
Go to "FILES & FOLDERS"
Make sure the find box is searching the "C:" drive.
Type in: SULFNBK.EXE
Begin search.

If it finds it, highlight it. Do not double click or file will automatically 
open.
Go to 'File' and delete it.
Close the find Dialog box
Open the Recycle Bin
Find the file and delete it from the Recycle bin
You should be safe.

The bad part is: You need to contact everyone you have sent ANY E-mail to in 
the past few months. Many major companies have found this virus on their 
computers. Please help your colleagues and friends !

DO NOT RELY ON YOUR ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE. McAFEE and NORTON CANNOT DETECT IT 
BECAUSE IT DOES NOT BECOME A VIRUS UNTIL JUNE 1ST.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT OPEN THE FILE!!!

thought you should know
