Hoax Warnings
NAME: Sulfnbk.exe virus hoax
ALIAS: Long File Name Backup utility virus hoax
In April-May 2001 there appeared a hoax message concerning a new virus that
was reportedly discovered in Windows' Long File Name Backup utility
SULFNBK.EXE. We checked several versions of this utility from Windows
installations and found no infection in it. Here's the original hoax
message:
---Begin Hoax Text -------------------------------------------
" Virus SULFNBK.EXE
Instructions to find and delete it.
1. Start and got to Find Files. Type the name: SULFNBK.EXE
2. If it is there, open Windows Explorer, look for the file
where you found it, and then delete. Don't left click and don't
open it even if there is a fire, o.k.?
3. Just delete it.
4. Mine was in Windows/Command.
5. The person wh passed this warning to me found it in
Windows/Config.
And Norton did not discover it..."
---End Hoax Text -------------------------------------------
Please ignore this hoax and don't pass it on.
It should be noted that Magistr virus-worm can choose SULFNBK.EXE file as
its victim, infect it and send it out. So if you find this file attached to
an e-mail message please delete it, never run the attachment.
Thanks to R.Engelander for the translation of this hoax.
