Virus Alert - GoFuckYourself.com

Just got this in my e-mail

This is serious! I was warned before it took effect, and successfully removed
it! I got this virus, and chances are you have it too. It lies dormant for 14
days, then kills your hard drive. Here's how to stop it. If you've got it, send
this to everyone in your address book. The directions for removing it are easy.

. Go to 'start' - then to 'find or search' (depending on your computer)
2. In the 'search for files or folders' type in sulfnbk.exe -- this is the
virus.
3. In the 'look in' make sure you're searching Drive C.
4. Hit 'search' button (or find)
5. If this file shows up (it's an ugly blackish that will have the name
'sulfnbk.exe') DO NOT OPEN IT
6. Right click on the file - go down to delete and left click.
7. It will ask you if you want to send it to the recycle bin, say yes.
8. Go to your desktop (where all your icons are) and double click on the recycle
bin.
9. Right click on sulfnbk.exe and delete again - or empty the bin.

If you find it send this email to all in your book, because that's how it's transferred.

Regards
Les

Is this for real?

Don't ever do anything an email asks you to do. They are ALWAYS a hoax. If it's a real virus, it will be on major computer news sites and sites like ZDnet or slashdot. Here's the note on the hoax you're speaking of
