E-Mail Virus Hoax
Last night on FOX 10 news Phoenix, there was two minutes devoted to this E-mail hoax!
I just heard mention about it again on the noon ABC News Phoenix.
Do not delete the file, SULFNBK.EXE from your computer, as it is part of Windows.

Hey gang, there's this really bad virus that's been propegating to millions of user's computers over the years. It's very insidious in that it creates the illusion that your machine is working fine, when in reality it sucks up your memory, hogs space on your hard drive, renders many of your programs inoperable and causes sudden system crashes for no apparent reason.
The name of this virus is "Microsoft Windows".
The only known "cure" is to reformat your hard drive and install a real operating system like Linux.
Bloos!

heh. I actually got a call about this at work. I told the person not to worry, as it sounded fake. A quick google search verified that, yes, it was a known hoax. To bad the user had already deleted the file.
(I work at my university's academic computing office. No one with a PhD should be allowed near a computer.)
