Fw: Virus - PLEASE READ!!!

[Paz B. Naylor]

I just received 2 emails telling me that the virus warning re sulfnbk.exe is
a hoax and that it is necessary for windows to operate, allowing long file
names.  One of them is from a colleague-subscriber to the AN-LANG list and
the other probably is too (although his email address does not indicate it).

I have  LOST 3 HOURS ON THIS ALREADY!!! just when I can least afford it!

Hope you are all okay anyway.   Paz/Pat
