Sorry to send this to this list.  Maybe I can undo some of the damage =
everyone has done lately.

Dear Everyone,
    I rarely pass along virus warning emails and never without verifying =
them first.         Some people write computer viruses to mess up =
computers.  Others who want to mess up computers, but who are not bright =
enough to write a virus, send out virus notices, so that people will =
delete critical files and mess up their own computers that way.  DO NOT =
EVER PASS ALONG A VIRUS WARNING WITHOUT VERIFYING IT FIRST.  THAT IS AS =
DANGEROUS AS SENDING A VIRUS YOURSELF !!!  MOST VIRUS WARNINGS ARE =
HOAX'S !!!!

    I have been bombarded lately with the email warning about the =
supposed SULFNBK.exe.  virus.  This is a Windows critical file and =
deleting it will mess up your computer.  The true story is...there is a =
virus that attacks that file if allowed in.  Of course, if your virus =
software is current...you're safe.  We first got this hoax at work last =
spring and the IT assistant passed it along without verifying it.  They =
spent all day fixing their screw up.

    NEVER BUY THE STORY THAT MCAFEE, NORTON OR SOPHOS CANNOT FIX THE =
VIRUS.  They take a de-compiler and read the source code without opening =
the file.  Once the source code is read, they simply write a patch to =
undo it...it's that simple.  They all have places on their website where =
you can send them viruses.  That's how they make their money and within =
a few hours, all viruses eventually get sent to them.  Then they fix it. =


Don't take my word about the  SULFNBK.exe.  virus hoax.  Verify it =
yourself @
