Hello Siva (and Happy New Year!),
Unsolicited email advice to delete SULFNBK. EXE because it is a virus or may
be a virus-infected file is a hoax, but the issue has been muddied-up a bit
by the fact that in rare instances this file can be infected a variant of
the Magistar virus.
DO NOT DELETE this file, but run a complete virus scan of all files on your
computer to rule out infection. In the unlikely event you discover that the
file is infected, then follow the instructions available at the following
referenced links to restore a fresh copy to the appropriate directory.

"I received an email from a friend warning me about the above "virus" and
suggesting that I search for it in my hard disk and to delete it. I did
search for it and found it in the Windows/ Command directory."
"I would appreciate if someone would let me know if it is indeed a harmful
virus and if I MUST delete it from my hard disk."
