I received several warnings about a dormant virus called--sulfnbk.exe and the instructions were to scan your C-drive and delete it if found.
I have Norton 2001 and just to be safe I searched my C-drive and did find it.

Now, I just received this warning:

Do Not Delete sulfnbk.exe it is a windows program.

Like I said, I did not find it, so no harm done.

Has anyone heard anything about this?

Hoax--or not a hoax.
