Subject: [Leica] This is a hoax: a follow-up [How to recover if you deleted that file]

Folks,

Just in case you did delete the file called "sulfnbk.exe" as advised in the
original virus alert, here's a site that will help you fix your machine:

This site goes into a little more detail:

Apparently while the virus alert itself is a hoax, those who deleted this
file run the risk of hurting their Windows operating system as this file is
a Windows system file that restores long file names in the case of a
catastrophic crash.  Not too earth-shattering in case it's been deleted,
fortunately, but you might want to restore it.

Hopefully everyone will relax now and get back to having a wonderful
holiday season!
