This is a HOAX!
The file sulfnbk.exe is used by windows to enable long file names.
Do not delete!

Hi,
Dear all,
Today I received a message from a friend that they'd detected a very nasty
virus on their computer which would have been automatically transmitted to
everyone on their address book.
I checked both my machines and, even though I have Norton Antivirus, the
Virus had got through and lodged itself in my computer.
[Norton didn't find this virus yesterday]
Since you are on my address book it may well have got through to yours
too.
It appears if it not removed within 14 days the virus can destroy your
hard drive.
The instructions sent me to destroy it were easy to follow.
Here they are:
The following is the advice we have received to delete the sulfnbk virus.
I apologise for the inconvenience, but the virus will destroy your hard
drive in 14 days (it is dormant during that 14 day period) if you do not
remove it.
It took just a few minutes to do the procedure.
1. Go to "Start" and then to "Find" or "Search"
(depending on your
computer).
2. In "Search for file or folders" type sulfnbk.exe [This is the name of
the virus].
3. In the "Look In" section, make sure you are searching the C Drive.
(If you have other hard drives, check them individually)
4. Hit "Search" or "Find".
5. If your search finds this file, it will have an ugly black icon that
will have the name sulfnbk.exe.
DO NOT OPEN IT !
If it does not show up on your first search try again.
(Mine showed up on both machines first time).
6. RIGHT click on the file, go down to "Delete" and click. Complete the
delete procedure.
7. You will be asked if you want to send the file to the Recycling Bin.
Answer Yes.
8. Go to your "Desktop" and click the Recycle Bin and delete the infected
file in the same manner as above.
9. Check your machines AGAIN!!
10. If you found the virus on your system, send this or a similar e-mail
to all the people in your address book."
Kind regards Ian (Mitchell, Selkirk)
