            Hoax Alert - SULFNBK
------------------------------------------------------------

An email HOAX has been circulating recently that has 
received a lot of press and public attention. The subject 
line may contain "***Virus Alert***" or mention SULFNBK.exe. 
If you receive a copy of this message, you should ignore it. 
Do NOT pass it on as this is how an email hoax spreads. You 
may receive a copy of this message from addresses that you 
recognize. 

DO NOT DELETE ANY FILES FROM YOUR COMPUTER.

There are several versions of this message circulating, in 
several different languages.  The email message may appear 
in part as follows:

"A VIRUS could be in your computer files now, dormant but 
will become active on June 1. Try not to USE your Computer 
on June 1st. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS BELOW TO CHECK IF YOU HAVE IT 
AND TO REMOVE IT NOW."

"No Virus software can detect it. It will become 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."

The email will also instruct you to delete SULFNBK.exe and 
to pass the message along to everyone you know.

SULFNBK.exe is a standard part of the Windows operating 
system and SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED.
