    Please read the correspondence below and act quickly - i checked as suggested and i DID find this rogue programme file in my c drive (deleted safely) - the notification message came to me via the COMMA discussion group which is a community radio and media circle.

    Halloo everyoneI have just received a warning about a virus (sulfnbk.exe) that is

    This virus is not known to any virus scanner & that if it is on your hard disc will remove all your files! This virus has been made by an ex- Casema employee & will be active from the 25 of may. Here follow the instructions to remove it

    Start - go to Files & Folders (for all your partitions C,D,E etc)-type in Sulf - then click on 'find now'
    If you find sulfnbk.exe. select it with your mouse (don't double click or open it !)
    click right & delete

    Empty your Recycle bin on your desk top immediately!
         
    I found it on my hard disk & removed it....don't wait, do it
    straight away!

     Hi all,
    Sorry for bombarding you with stuff, but I decided it was worth having
    irritated friends and contacts rather than having ignorant ones.
    I recieved this today and thought, 'it's one of those bloody hoax's
    again' but decided I'd better try anyway, and guess what, I found out
    one of my files had it, so please, don't delay, check today...hmmm, can
    you tell I was with a load of poets last night?
    Claire
