I found a virus

[surrealchereal]

May have gotten it from a friend, no I have no idea how I got it! I'm pissed.
It hasn't erupted yet I was told it is set for June 1st... If I've sent you an email or for just prosperity.
check in your windows/command files
for SULFBNK.EXE or a variant. I am terribly sorry if I have giving this to anybody and very angry about getting it! by the was I did a virus scan 2 days ago and nothing showed up. I'm going to do another now!

THIS IS PRIMARILY A HOAX.

SULFBNK.EXE in your C:\Windows\Command folder is most likely NOT a virus.

Please follow the link to the Symantec Antivirus Research Center that was provided by zskillz.

Here's a quote from PCWorld.com about this HOAX. <A HREF="http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,51285,00.asp" TARGET=_blank>Virus Hoax Makes You Do the Dirty Work
E-mail tells you to delete an infected Windows file, but you'll have trouble finding a real virus in there.

In the latest perverse trickery pulled off by someone taking pleasure in computer users' pain, a fake virus warning is circulating by e-mail asking people to delete an innocuous and uninfected executable Microsoft Windows file and then to pass the warning on to others.

The warning tells users to delete the sulfnbk.exe file, a utility used to restore long file names. The file isn't usually infected, and running a virus check on it will prove fruitless, which just adds to the hoax's credibility. The message warns people that it's a virus undetectable by antivirus software. Diligent users who search for the file and find it may presume the warning was accurate and delete it.</A> -PCWORLD.com
