Hello 'Netters,

Jeffrey Crews was absolutely correct about sulfnbk.exe..."It's apparently a
legitimate part of Windows."


If you check out the Win98 installation disk, you'll find the following
files zipped inside the compressed CD image files:

Windows 98 CD-ROM
SULFNBK.EXE        45,056  05-11-98  8:01p
Windows 98 Second Edition Updates CD-ROM
Sulfnbk.exe        45,056  4/23/1999 10:22:00p

Don't use Win9x personally anymore so I couldn't tell you what the file
does; but don't delete it.  That's not to say this file could never be
corrupted by a virus in the future and have a payload of some sort.  If you
check the size and date of the file, and it matches the file properties
reported by Microsoft, then you're fine.

What a "creative" virus this one is.  No programming required.  The creator
of the original email scares users into purposely sabotaging their own
system.  Social engineering at work.
