[GWL]: Virus hoax


Before anybody goes bananas with this one - there's a new computer *hoax* 
sweeping the Net. Most folks are sensitive to this after the badtrans stuff 
of the past few weeks.

If you get a message re  "sulfnbk.exe warning" it is a hoax!

The viral "warning" says to try to find sulfnbk.exe (it gives directions) 
and then delete it. The kicker is that this is a real ms systems file that 
you'll easily find and you would be deleting a systems file. The file 
apparently reads longer file names or some such systems thing.

Good trick! :-)  Tell folks to find a virus file and they do - then they 
erase a perfectly good file. Wierd sense of humour but good trick.  Now 
you're warned.
