Sorry to send this to "the world," but I received this message, checked, and
DID have this on my machine.  I deleted it as instructed.  I have no clue
whether or not this is a file I should have retained - I figure due to the
timing, I would send this on and let everyone act according to his or her
inclination, and I'll worry about it when I have more time.

I received this message today.  My hard drive checked out clean, but the
process was simple enough that I thought it wouldn't hurt to send this
along.

URGENT. A VIRUS could be in your computer files now, dormant but will become
active on June 1.  FOLLOW DIRECTIONS BELOW TO  CHECK IF YOU HAVE IT AND TO
REMOVE IT NOW!!!!

No Virus software can detect it.  It will be come 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.
When Found
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:  If you find you have this virus, 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
friends.!!!!!

DO NOT RELY ON YOUR ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE, McAffee, DRr Soloman, AVAG, and
NORTON CANNOT DETECT IT BECAUSE IT DOES NOT BECOME A VIRUS UNTIL JUNE 1ST.

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

Hope this helps you catch it!!
