The Following is an Email I received today from a Lady friend..... I did check to see if I had it.. and of coarse I do...  " that evil black Icon..  except
it appears I've had it for years..  Last been modified may of 1998...  

What does this Icon "a supposed windows command "  do ?  

Anyone know ?            " sulfnbk.exe "    

I havent deleted it and won't till I find out what the file is....    I have a feeling we all have this file as part of our Windows ...  I could be wrong...



Thanks Realist out



CHECK THIS OUT DI !!    I DID & FOUND THE VIRUS SITTIN THERE IN MY C DRIVE.  I FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS & GOT RID OF IT IN A HURRY.  LUV YAH !!!
~~**DIANNE**~~

I found it on our computer after following the procedures below.  It
goes out to all in one's address book, so you all may have it as well.
Please go through the following procedure.  My apologies if you have it.

This virus lies dormant for 14 days, and then kills your hard
drive. Here's how to stop it.  If you've got it, send this to everyone in your address
book.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remove it by following these steps: 1. Go to "start" - then to
"find or search" (depending on your computer).  2. In the "search
for files or folders" type sulfnbk.exe -- this is the virus.  3. In
the  "look in" make sure you're searching Drive C   4. Hit "search"
button (or find)  5. If this file shows up (it's an ugly blackish
icon that will have the name "sulfnbk.exe)   DO NOT OPEN IT!!  6. Right click on
the file - go dow to delete and left click.  7.  It will as you if you
want to send it  to the recycle bin, say yes.  8. Go to your desktop (where all your
icons are)  and double click on the Recycle Bin.  9. Right click on "sulfnbk.exe
and delete again-- or empty the bin. If you find it, send this e-mail to
all in your address book, because that's how it's transferred!

It's a normal windows file.  It has to do with long file names.  It's supposed to be there.

deleting it will screw up your computer, so in essence the Virus warning is actually the virus
