Printer-friendly version Tell a Friend

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

Type: Hoax

Description:

The following hoax email was first reported in Brazil. The original email is
in Portuguese; it is followed by several other versions.

CAUTIONS:

This particular email message is a hoax. The file that is mentioned in the
hoax, however, Sulfnbk.exe, is a Microsoft Windows utility that is used to
restore long file names, and like any .exe file, it can be infected by a
virus that targets .exe files.
The virus/worm W32.Magistr.24876_at_mm can arrive as an attachment named
Sulfnbk.exe. The Sulfnbk.exe file used by Windows is located in the
C:\Windows\Command folder. If the file is located in any other folder, or
arrives as an attachment to a email message, then it is possible that the
file is infected. In this case, if a scan with the latest virus definitions
and with NAV set to scan all files does not detect the file as being
infected, quarantine and submit the file to SARC for analysis by following
the instructions in the document How to submit a file to SARC using Scan and
Deliver.
If you have deleted the Sulfnbk.exe file from the C:\Windows\Command folder
and want to know how to restore the file, see the How to restore the
Sulfnbk.exe file section at the end of this document.

..and we got this from Symantec.

Hope this helps

Regards
