Told you so!

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@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
