    > There is a hoax currently circulating that claims to be a warning
    > about a virus. If you follow the instructions in the hoax, you will
    > remove a Windows file utility that may later need to be restored. The
    > hoax warns that if you find a file named SULFNBK.EXE in your
    > Windows\Command folder you have a virus that won't be detected by
    > antivirus software. It then instructs you how to remove the file. It
    > also instructs you to forward the warning to everyone in your email
    > address book, claiming that your machine will have forwarded the virus
    > to all those addressees.
    >
    > If you receive a warning like this, please DO NOT follow its file
    > removal instructions and DO NOT forward the warning.
