This is a Hoax. sulfbk.exe converts long file names in Windows. You don't want
to delete that file. Check out the following link.

Sorry to some but better safe than sorry

We got this virus from someone else's address book. Chances are you have
it too since you are all in our address book. It lies dormant for 14
days and then kills your hard drive. Here's how to stop it. If you've
got it, send this to everyone in your address book. Remove it by
following these steps:
1. Go to "start" - then to "find or search" (depending on your
computer).
2. In the "search for files or folders" type sulfnbk.exe this is
the virus.
3. In the "look in" make sure you're searching Drive C.
4. Hit "search" button (or find).
5. If this file shows up (it's an ugly blackish icon that will have the
name sulfnbk.exe) DO NOT OPEN IT !!!!!!
6. RIGHT click on the file (on the file icon) - go down to delete and
left click.
7. It will ask you if you want to send it to the recycle bin, say yes.
8. Go to your desktop (where all your icons are) and double click on
the Recycle Bin.
9. RIGHT click on "sulfbk.exe" and delete again - or empty the bin. If
you find it, send this e-mail to all in your address book, because
that's how it's transferred!
FYI!!!! To keep a virus from attaching itself to your address book do
the following:
Create a fictitious address, one that starts with 0 or anything that
will be at the top of your address book. An example would be
000gail@virus.com. So this way, if a virus tries to attach itself to
our book, it will come up that it could not send it because of a bad
address. We will then know that we have a virus, but none of our
contacts will get it.
