I saw this message and thought I'd do a bit of research before deleting the
file, since I have pretty high security settings on my email program.
Follow this link for more information.

I had this virus and deleted it. If you've gotten email from me or anybody
else who was infected with it, you have it, too.
I wanted to make you aware, just as my sender did,
so you can check to be safe, not sorry
before June 1st when it is programmed to take effect.
On June 1, this virus will become active to wipe out all files/folders on
your hard drive. The virus travels through e-mail and migrates to the
C:\windows\command folder.

To find it and get rid of it from your computer, do the following:
1) Go to the "start" button.
2) Go to " FIND" OR "SEARCH"
3) Go to "FILES & FOLDERS"
Make sure the find box is searching the "C" drive.
4) Type in: SULFNBK.EXE
5) Begin search
6) If it finds this file, highlite it clicking only ONCE or scanning
mouse across it, but DO NOT OPEN IT by clicking twice!

7) Press your DELETE button.
8) Open the Recycle Bin, delete it totally by clicking the button:
9) Empty Recycle bin.

The good news is you should now be safe.
The BAD NEWS is that if you detect the virus,
10) you in turn need to contact everyone
that you have sent ANY e-mail to in the past few months,
and share this warning with them.
Do not rely on your anti-virus software.
Neither McAfee nor Norton can detect this virus
because it does not become a virus until June 1.
On that date, it will be too late.
Whatever you do, do not open the file!
