The file was on your computer because it's supposed to be. The sulfnbk.exe file is a Windows system file that handles long file names--not a virus. It's a good idea to check these things out before deleting files from your Windows folder. See http://vmyths.com/hoax.cfm?id=257 & page=3 for more info.
