>From the symantic site:
The following hoax email has been reported in Brazil. The original email is
in Portuguese; it is followed by an English translation.
CAUTIONS:
This particular email message is a hoax. The file
that is
mentioned in the hoax, however, Sulfnbk.exe, is a
Microsoft Windows utility that is used to restore
long file
names, and like any .exe file, it can be infected
by a virus
that targets .exe files.
The Sulfnbk.exe is a basic part of windows operating system. DO NOT DELETE
IT.
