computerdisc-l: Fwd: Fw: virus alert

FROM: CHRISTY HAWKINS WILLHITE

THIS IS WHY I DO NOT LIKE FORWARDING THINGS TO PEOPLE BECAUSE I RECEIVED A VIRUS JUST BECAUSE I WAS IN SOMEONE'S ADDRESS BOOK. I GOT THIS MESSAGE FROM MY FRIEND DEANA THAT I TRUST OR I WOULD NOT HAVE GONE THROUGH THE STEPS. I CHECKED AND DID HAVE THE VIRUS SO YOU NEED TO CHECK AS WELL. THE STEPS LISTED BELOW ARE EASY TO FOLLOW.

>VIRUS.

> >3. In the "look in" make sure you're searching Drive C.

> >5. If this file shows up (it's an ugly blackish icon that will have the

>name "sulfnbk.exe) DO NOT OPEN IT!!!
