virus?
 
Is anyone familiar with a computer virus called sulfnbk.exe ? Or is the chain letter telling us to delete that file a hoax?

And how is this question related to travel?

It's not -- except that thgis is a place where good advice may be available of many topics ;).<BR><BR>That virus *is* a hoax. If you have deleted the file just copy it from someone else's computer. From what I was told, that file is the one that allows windows to recignize longer file names.

But the advice may not be well-typed *lol*

Symantec Security Response encourages you to ignore any messages regarding this hoax. It is harmless and is intended only to cause unwarranted concern. <BR>
