Just had this via e-mail.
Search files or folders with name "sulfnbk.exe" It comes up with a black ugly icon.
Apparently most anti virus software wont pick it up
Do not open just right click and delete and empty recycle bin asap.
You have 14 days then it kills your hard drive.
THIS IS NOT A JOKE UNLIKE MOST OF MY THREADS!

 

It's a hoax.

 

Restore procedure here http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...threadid=62104

 

No Arron, its not a joke, I hope you have deleted it

 

Well actually I have cos I dont do computers???
What is it then???

 

It's an application that Windows uses to restore long filenames. See http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ven...e.warning.html

General rule-of-thumb is to ignore messages like the one you clearly received, particularly if they are e-mailed. If you have got the info from a reputable source (one of the antivirus vendors' sites, or JackClark ), then post the URL for people to see in case it's been updated since you saw it.

 

Can we get this right.......we shouldnt delete it right.

 

Arron, FFS, click on one of the links above, (any), and it is explained in all of it's glorious details

 

Can we get this right.......we shouldnt delete it right.

 

That file should not be deleted.

Richard

 

Oh LOL, I give up

 

I got this from a really reliable source that has nothing to do with computers but has a ferkin lot to do with my particular industry??????
Kitchen Specialist Association???

 

Arron,

No, you shouldn't have deleted it!!!!

It is an important file.

Cheers Phill C

 

Hmm, let's just say I wouldn't get Symantec or NAI to remodel my kitchen...

 

OK I`ll try and get it back now.
I hate computers.

 

 

Not any more though!

 

carl,

LOL at you, but not at Arron!! It isn't nice not knowing what to do.

Cheers Phill C

 

babber -- you're right, of course, but a little common sense never goes amiss. I can't remember who said that "information is worth what you've paid for it". If someone sends you an e-mail, for free, suggesting you delete a file on your system...

 

Arron,

Have you fixed it yet ? What O/S are you running ? Maybe someone could email the file to you!

All you need to do is then copy the file into x:\windows\command\ and away you go. I would recommend ensuring the file is there available for the next time you may need it.



Cheers Phill C

 

Yeah right, babber

Like he's going to trust someone sending him an executable file now....

It's not necessary to restore the file, but if it needs to be done there are plenty of links on this thread to do it.

 

Babber I am trying now but cant find windows cab file????
I am an even bigger knobber with computers than cars
I just thought I could help the Scooby boys out a bit but it looks like I fell flat on my **** with this one
If there is a dick-heads way then please send it to me and I`ll never say a word in slander against you ever again

 

I emailed it to a couple of people yesterday without no problems, a few people emailed me offline requesting the file.

I'm not convinced that the O/S will be fine without it, otherwise why have the file in the first instance ?

Cheers Phill C

PS Win98SE

 

Arron,

You have mail as per your profile.

I understand that you may have thought you were helping out by informing people, but in future ask before you delete anything that could be important.

Cheers Phill C

PS The file I sent is for WIN98SE

 

I just got an email from Arron saying that M3 are better than Scoobies

Just sent the file to him (and no I haven't attached a trojan and left a port open )

Cheers Phill C

 

With thanks to Babber I think I have retored it.
Maybe I can re-pay you Babber by you teaching me more about computers and me teaching you about cars and driving

 

Arron,

No problem mate, glad I could help!! I was LOL when I first read the threat though

Cheers Phill C

 

Arron,

I think I may know a little more about driving than you do about PCs however I'll come and see you at the next track day, and you can take me out in your M3

Cheers Phill C

 

Phil I will take you out as a return favour but dont forget you thought you were going quickly with Trout you better bring a change of undies cos a rear whel drive car is a bit more looney than a Scoob and a bit of a handfull in the wet
I`ll do you a real favour and turn the DSC off
Till then.
PS I will be at Bedford mid March with the BMW drivers club......a bunch of old saddo`s but its cheap and we can cane the Skyline round or come to think of it as many cars as we like for no extra cost

 

Arron,

Will look forward to it!!! Have you got a Skyline ?

I prefer rear wheel drives, and was very disappointed with my Scooby when it was new. I was used to my Mark 2 RS2000. Currently rebuilding / restoring it and hopefully should be getting a Cossie Turbo in it.

Cheers Phill C

PS With Trout we were going fast, but felt safe at all times
