virus question

I received a reprt of a virus in sulfnbk.exe, it seems to me that that is windows file but when I bring it up using the find the icon is black. What does this black icon mean as other exe files do not have this black icon when brought up using the find command.

Thank You.

Hi woody97
Jut ignore the report...it's a hoax.

If you go to Symantec's SULFNBK.EXE Warning Page it tells you that the particular email message is a hoax but that the virus/worm W32.Magistr.24876@mm can arrive as an attachment named Sulfnbk.exe. The Sulfnbk.exe file used by Windows is located by default in the C:\Windows\Command folder. If the file is located in any other folder (except as noted), or arrives as an attachment to a email message, then it is possible that the file is infected.

I mention it because I received sulfnbk.exe embedded in a Netscape e-mail from someone who was infected and it did contain the Magistr virus.
