You have been duped... Here is the msg sent by our IT group regarding this
hoax. This is from Lockheed-Martin at the Johnson Space Center and we
received it in our internal mail just a little while ago.
May 31, 2001 - E-MAIL HOAX Notice!
A new e-mail hoax is circulating that asks you to delete SULFNBK.EXE because
"NO anti-virus software can detect this virus." (The use of the name
SULFNBK.EXE is coincidental. A virus can have any Windows file name;
there's nothing special about SULFNBK.EXE.) DO NOT delete this file from
your PC. It is not detected as a virus IF it is not infected. This file is
actually a Microsoft Windows utility that is used to restore long file
names.
To add to the complexity of this hoax, some e-mail messages also attach an
infected file named SULFNBK.EXE. Although .EXE files are blocked from
coming through the Lockheed Martin firewall, other sources (e.g. external
e-mail accounts) may enable this file to enter our e-mail system. DO NOT
OPEN the attachment if you receive it.
If you have erroneously deleted SULFNBK.EXE, contact the Enterprise Service
Desk at <snip> or your local desktop support for assistance.
