    3. Thanks Bill. I researched also and found that it is a hoax. There is VIRUS warning making its way around the Internet about SULFNBK.EXE. It is a HOAX. SUBLFNBK.EXE is part of the Windows operating system. There have been no reports from CERT, McAfee orMorton concerning any type of virus of this nature. I did a search for this file and it is a standard file for windows. Bill Cook Just what is SULFNBK.EXE? It's a utility shipped as part of the Windows 98 operating system that allows users to restore long file names. Thus, anyone using the Windows 98 operating system would find this file on their system. If the hoax were received by these users, and believed, many might delete the file thinking their antivirus software had somehow failed to detect the virus. In fact, it wouldn't be the first time signature-based scanners failed to detect a new virus, making the entire hoax even easier to believe. > TO CHECK YOUR COMPUTER DO THE FOLLOWING: > > Go to the Start button > Go to Find or Search > Made sure the find box is searching the "C" drive. > type in: SULFNBK.EXE > Begin Search > If it finds it, highlight it. > Go to "File" and delete it. > Close the dialog box > Open the Recycle Bin > Find the file and delete it from the recycle bin. > You should be safe. > > The bad part is: You need to contact everyone you have sent ANY E-MAIL > in the last few months.
