Hi everybody,
I think this IS a hoax. I found the following on the web http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html
"The file that is mentioned in the hoax, Sulfnbk.exe, is a Microsoft Windows utility that is used to restore long file names"
do check this out - and could someone confirm this for me.

Please read the correspondence below and act quickly - i checked as suggested and i DID find this rogue programme file in my c drive (deleted safely) - the notification message came to me via the COMMA discussion group which is a community radio and media circle.

Halloo everyoneI have just received a warning about a virus (sulfnbk.exe) that is
This virus is not known to any virus scanner & that if it is on your hard disc will remove all your files! This virus has been made by an ex- Casema employee & will be active from the 25 of may. Here follow the instructions to remove it
Start - go to Files & Folders (for all your partitions C,D,E etc)-type in Sulf - then click on 'find now'
If you find sulfnbk.exe. select it with your mouse (don't double click or open it !)
click right & delete
Empty your Recycle bin on your desk top immediately!
I found it on my hard disk & removed it....don't wait, do it
straight away!

Hi all,
Sorry for bombarding you with stuff, but I decided it was worth having
irritated friends and contacts rather than having ignorant ones.
I recieved this today and thought, 'it's one of those bloody hoax's
again' but decided I'd better try anyway, and guess what, I found out
one of my files had it, so please, don't delay, check today...hmmm, can
you tell I was with a load of poets last night?
