This from another list:
It's a hoax, and it's real.
The original email item on this was a hoax and deleting the real file sulfnbk
could cause problems with windows. Hoax reports were released and then some
idiot created a Real virus (magistr) that sends out the sulfnbk.exe as the
infection.
For more information you can go to:

e.warning.html

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@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.
