Hi Conrad, if you mean SULFNBK.EXE then whoops! it is NOT a virus, but a
Hoax - it is in fact an important file which windows uses - ask me how I
know this one.

Thanks, Ron.

Today my virus scan got "fun.mp3.pif".  I'd advise everybody doing a file
search for .pif files and deleting.

-SULNFBK.EXE is another virus which came about two weeks ago.  It was still
in my recycle bin. No more.
