[GWL]: Another Virus

I recieved the below from my brother. Sure enough, I picked up this new
virus from him.. Norton did _not_ identify nor stop it, so you may want
to follow the below directions.

Sorry if I sent it to you.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I received a virus last night called "sulfnbk.exe." It might have been
transferred to you because we have corresponded recently via email or
because you are in my address book. The information I have about the
virus is below, including directions on how to delete it. Please follow
the directions to delete the virus from your hard drive to prevent any
damage to your computer. My apologies for the inconvenience.

This is a serious email. I received an eail warning of a virus. The PC
was infected and since I was in his address book it had probably been
spread to my computer. I followed the instructions and located the virus.
By following the instructions, I was able to delete the virus. The bad
news is that you probably have it, as you are in MY address book. More
bad news is that my anti-virus program did not detect this virus.

The virus lies dormant for 14 days and then kills your hard drive. Here
is what to do. If you follow the instructions and then see that you have
the virus, you need to send a similar email to everyone in your address
book.

Remove the virus by following these steps:

1. Go to "start." Then to "find" or "search" (depending on your
computer).
2. In the "Search for Files or Folders," type sulfnbk.exe---this is the
name of the virus.
3. In the "Look In" section, make sure you are searching Drive C.
4. Hit "Search" or "Find."
5. If your search finds this file, it will be an ugly blackish icon that
will have the name sulfnbk.exe. DO NOT OPEN IT! If it does not show up on
your first "Search." try a "New Search."
6. Right click on the file, go down to "Delete" and left click.
7. You will be asked if you want to send the file to the recycling bin.
Say "Yes."
8. Go to your desktop (where all your icons are) and right click on the
recycle bin and either manually delete the sufnbk.exe program or empty
the entire bin.
9. If you found the virus on your system, send this to everyone in your
address book.
