Heard a rumour that that there's a virus going round which evades mcafee and Norton. Apparently it's called SULFNBK.EXE. Is this true. If it is it's on my PC and I need to know in order to delete it. I don't want to delete it if it turns out to be something windows requires.

This is a hoax virus. Don't worry, just don't do what it tells you to do (delete a file from Windows). Check out

Nope just technophobic. Plus the advice came from the University where his wife was doing some work. Don't know exact details.
