Default ot: computer virus...i got a note from a friend passing along a message about a computer virus...
he said to search for a file named: sulfnbk.exe
and then delete it (and then remove it from the trash can).

does anyone know anything about this? i do have this file in c:\windows\command.

i have the latest version of norton antivirus 2002 with updated virus definitions, but it didn't flag this file.

thanks for your help!

Default It's a known hoax. sulfnbk is a perfectly good file. Go to NAV's
web site, they have a list of known hoaxes sarc.com, I think.
