I was notified by a friend this am that she had possibly sent out an infected e-mail containing a virus; instructions were to ssearch all drives for a file named SULFNBK.EXE.  I found this file in the WINDOWS/COMMAND folder on all four of my computers - it has a very weird black icon associated with it.  I saved it to disk and dumped the file.

Now the funny part.  This has been resident on my computers for several months; McAfee has not even peeped over it, and I've had not problems.  If anybody here finds it on their computer and can tell if it is really a virus, please post here.  If anybody cares for me to send them the file (at your risk) for analysis, drop me an e-mail.  Aside from that,  there is the information for everybody else; do with it what you will.

Here's a link to Symantac on the subject.
Your friend may have been hoaxed, and your the next unintentional victim.

Thanks, Jay.  I had a feeling something wasn't right; good thing I saved the file to disk before deleting it, it won't be so hard to restore now.[rolleyes]
