Subject: Re: Completely off topic (if you don't have a computer)
Just so everyone knows, the warning about sulfnbk.exe is a hoax, that's
a normal Windows system file. Put "sulfnbk.exe" into your favorite
search engine (google if you don't have one) and the antivirus vendors'
pages on it will be at the top.
How about a DS2 scenario where one side just thinks that its EW systems
should be taken offline ?
