its a hoax and its real

The original email item on this was a hoax and deleting the real
file sulfnbk could cause problems with windows. Hoax reports were
released and then some idiot created a Real virus (magistr) that
sends out the sulfnbk.exe as the infection.

For Real information go to:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.ex
e.warning.html
http://vil.nai.com/vil/virusSummary.asp?virus_k=99084

I do hope that helps
