sulfnbk.exe is NOT a virus. This email is a hoax! sulfnbk.exe is a windows
program. If you delete it you will have to restore it from you backup. I
feel sure the original sender did not realize that this is a hoax but it is
just the same. I hope you welcome this information but if not I sincerely
apologize. David Thomas
