SULFNBK.EXE As well as portraying all 
the standard hoax features, (warns of a dire 'danger' 
then suggests that the receiver should send it onto all of their 
friends to minimize the damage that the 'virus' may cause) this 
E-mail hoax advises the user to delete the file 
SULFNBK.EXE which it states is a virus. For greater 
impact and added realism, this hoax mentions that the <FONT 
size=2>information contained within has been garnered from a competitor's 
anti-virus site. 
Folks, no reputable Antivirus provider *EVER* sends 
attachments.Especially when they pull out the stops and 
mention otherwise-reputable sources (IBM has said ... 
Microsoft warns ...the FBI has released ...) in addition to <FONT 
size=2>their "information". If you are provided with more info on a virus than 
what is in the body of the email <FONT 
size=2>itself, they will provide a link to a page on their own website. In 
addition ,no reputable AV vendor sends out virus alerts 
unsolicited. You have to subscribe.
