Hey everyone, search your hard drives for a file named SULFNBK.exe and delete it!!!
It's an email virus currently not detected by virus scanners and is set to wipe out all infected drives at midnight tonight!!
I just found it on my system now!
Warn everyone you have recently sent emails to. Don't forget to empty your recycle bin after you delete it.

Don't worry 82 this is a Hoax! That file is required by windows for long file names or something.

You should NEVER delete files from you Command folder without knowing what you are doing...that's how you get in trouble sometimes

That's funny, all the people that deleted a WINDOWS file thinking it was a virus. Everyone with windows has that file, it helps recognize long file names, JUST A HOAX!
