To all,

The first email is a hoax. The program in question is not a virus. Do
not delete the file.

You can find it on the "virus hoax" list at
http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99084&.

Best,

  Importance: High

  To all,

  This virus alert comes from the Air Canada Pilots Association. I found
the virus on my PC. Recommend you follow the instructions below.

  Remember to empty the Recycle Bin as well as per these instructions.
Sorry for the problem...

  Regards
  Anne

  PLEASE FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE. THIS VIRUS TRAVELS THROUGH E-MAIL
  AND MIGRATES TO THE @:\windows\command folder.

  TO FIND IT AND DELETE FROM YOUR COMPUTER do the following:

  GO TO START BUTTON
  GO TO FIND OR SEARCH
  GO TO FILES AND FOLDERS
  MAKE SURE THE FIND BOX IS SEARCHING THE ' C' DRIVE
  TYPE : SULFNBK.EXE
  BEGIN SEARCH. IF IT FINDS THE VIRUS ON YOUR COMPUTER, HIGHLIGHT IT AND
PRESS
  THE DELETE KEY ON KEYBOARD. CLOSE THE FIND DIALOG BOX.

  IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU NOW CHECK THE RECYCLE BIN< BECAUSE IT ALSO
  SHOWED UP IN THAT LOCATION.

  OPEN RECYCLE BIN. FIND THE FILE AND DELETE IT FROM THE RECYCLE BIN.

  Do not rely on your Anti-virus software like McAFEE, NOR NORTON, ETC.,
  because they cannot detect it because it does not become a virus until
JUNE
  1, then whatever you do do not open the file. I must stress that so
  far tonight already the only four people who have followed this procedure
  did find the virus in their computer.

  Cheers

  Mark Watt
