What's new at EricBrooks.Com plus news and gossip all over CyberTown
Hey did you get an email that said
“Possible Virus – Check Your C: Drive“?
- Did you follow the instructions?
- Did you search for sulfnbk.exe?
- Did you delete this file?
Congratulations. You’re an idiot.
Sulfnbk.exe was put in Windows98 to restore long filenames. It’s a hoax.
And you just deleted this file because one of your AOL “Forwarding friends” told you to.
For more information on this hoax, check out Antivirus.About.Com.
About ten of these emails have hit my inbox… and counting.

Here are a list of other great blogs and journals for you to check out. Due to Technorati's way of ranking sites, and I don't have a blogroll, I've pulled these right out of my Links Page.
