    Virus Question !

    I got this in my email
    -----------------------------------

    Dear All,

    I have just deleted the virus from my hard drive. Since you are in my
    E-mail list, please check and delete.

    Kindly note the following message & delete the Virus ASAP. Also, send
    this to everyone on your E-mail list - cause if you have it, so do they!

    The following instructions are important for you to read. There is an
    E-mail virus now in your computer but it is easy to delete by the
    following directions. Sorry for this, since your address is in my address
    book, then the virus was automatically sent to you, which is how I got it in
    the first place (being in someone else address book).

    The virus lies dormant for 14 days and then destroys your hard drive.

    Here's how to check it and follow the instructions.

    1. Go to start on your computer, then to 'find or search'
    2. In the 'search for files of folders' type in ... sulfnbk.exe
    3. In the 'look in' box, make sure you are checking your C drive
    4. Hit 'search ' or 'find'
    5. If this file shows up ... it's an ugly, black icon that will have the
    name sulfnbk.exe - DO NOT OPEN IT
    6. Right click the file then left click to Delete it
    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    YES I DID DELETE "sulfnbk.exe"


    what do i do now?

    Oh shit, that's a very dangerous virus... And it always comes with this file pbrush.exe. Go search for it and if you have it make sure you delete it

      lol sheesh..
      thats not a virus dude, just a hoax e-mail.. i got it weeks ago and i guess its still going around. that file is a file everybody has in their windows\command folder.
      the good thing is if you deleted it your computer will still run without it.
