File purpose and description:
Sulfnbk.exe is a program that would have most likely been on your computer the day you purchased it. Note also that there are many hoaxes going around on this file, so let me clear this up. Be sure to verify the exact hard drive location shown below to always make sure it is not spyware related. This program is most likely on your computer if you are still running Windows 95, 98, or ME. The name could be used on later computers to of course. On Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows ME, there were many hoaxes calling it the "sulfnbk.exe virus", but that is not true. This is a Microsoft utility program and you should leave this on your computer, do not delete this file. Anything "could" be a virus, for example if someone sent you this file name in email and said run it, that could be a virus but that is true with any file name. This file is considered safe and is not known to be a spyware or adware related program. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)
Actual file or task name:
sulfnbk.exe
File type:
This is an executable file.
File or folder location:
This program will appear at: C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\sulfnbk.exe
General information:
Be aware that many tasks will be similiar names to existing tasks or processes.
You can always view the running tasks on your computer by pressing ctrl-alt-del to view the windows
"task manager", and then view the "processes" tab. This will show you all tasks running or currently active
on your PC. Although this shows you all running tasks, it does not show dll file thats are loaded, as they
get loaded as part of other processes. Many spyware writers attempt to hide their files
on your computer, for example, sulfnbk.exe may be intentionally misspelled to look like a similiar task, or spyware may be named very
similiar to a Windows system task. The reason they do this is so you cannot easily recognize the name in your tasklist
as I have mentioned above. Make sure always check the location of the file if you are concerned.
You can always find the location of sulfnbk.exe on your computer by using your Windows search options, but
I will also try to list the file location of every file described on this website, so you can verify the correct location. You can view the entire tasklist directory with the link below.
