VIRUS ALERT - Long but important

Hmm..I have that file (and it does not appear to be a virus by any of my anti-virus software which are current). There is no mention of this as being a virus on any of their news websites. What makes you think that by deleting this file you are eradicating the virus? Why do you think this file is infected? Before advising anyone to delete any files please be sure that you research this carefully. The file sulfnbk.exe is a Microsoft command file for long extension names and is part of Microsoft Windows. It resides in the Windows/command directory. It belongs there and should not be removed. This warning is the result of an email hoax from last Spring. It claimed that this was a destructive virus spread by email and could not be detected by any virus scanning software. Check with www.mcafee.com
