I have to love this one. People all over town getting an e-mail today telling them all about the new virus that will erase your hard drive (seems they all do that). It tells you to do a search for the file SULFNBK.EXE and that if you find it, it's definitely a virus (probably confirmed by a friend of a friend's brother's friend's uncle's dad's sister in law's nephew's wife's cousin). Well, it's a standard file in the C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND directory. It's a utility to restore long file names.
