BEfore you go deleting this folks, please not that Norton say it is a hoax! Yes the file does exist,
but it is a W95/98 file. Unless you have downloaded a file called "sulfnbk.exe" attached to an email
dont worry. If you have downloaded such an attachment, then yes, like any other .EXE it could have a
virus (worm usually) in it. For more info, read nortons page before doing anything rash!
