SULFNBK.EXE

This file should be deleted from your system - I found it in
c:/windows/command on my computer
I seems to be a trojan that is set to be activated on June 1st.
Should Tauscan have caugt it ? I paid for the Jammer /Tauscan protection - and would like to know if this slipped by.

SULFNBK.EXE, a utility shipped as part of the Windows 98 operating system that allows users to restore long file names, and now the victim of a bogus virus warning. The hoax message urges users to search their systems for the presence of SULFNBK.EXE and, if found, delete it. Of course, it's a legitimate Win98 operating system file, so anyone running Windows 98 will find it.
