Unfortunately this is a well known hoax that has resulted in your deleting what is probably an essential windows file. I refer you to the hoax file on the site:
<http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/HBMalCode.shtml#sulfnbk> You will probably need to replace this file because you may well need it at some future time.

When I searched I found the file SULFNBK.EXE in C:/windows/command, and deleted it. It has been over a month since I corresponded with him. The message I received: ---start of message--- Please check the following information to see if we transferred a VIRUS to anyone. I was sent this from a client -- and we did have it on our C-Drive. Sorry -- we hope this hasn't transferred to you. Do the following instructions: This is a time release virus which means that Norton and MacAfee Anti- virus do not pick it up until it is too late. I was told that the virus may have attached itself to everyone in my address book, and that I should send this warning to all of you regardless of whether or not I have emailed you in the past week or so. Please follow the following directions to see if you have the virus and if you do, to eliminate it. Click on "start". Choose "find" or "search". Choose "files and /or folders". Select "find". Select "C drive". The file to search for is: SULFNBK.EXE If you find this file, DO NOT OPEN IT! SELECT THE FILE BY right clicking ON YOUR MOUSE AND DELETE IT! Then close the window and EMPTY YOUR RECYCLE BIN. Then email everyone in your address book and ask them to follow the same procedures. ---end of message--- James-Osbourne: Holmes
