Hi,
    I got this warning and deleted the file.  I tried to reinstall it.  I
have Windows 98, but also have an old copy of Windows 95.  When I search
both cds (95 and 98), sulfnbk.exe was not found.  Therefore, I am not sure
whether I deleted a virus or a legitimate file.  Does anyone know?  Thanks,
Lauren
