Yes, it is a VIRUS HOAX.

Sulfnbk.exe is a file that all Windows O/S machines have. It is supplied by
Microsoft. Its always possible that *any" file on any machine could be
infected; but the GIST of the email Hoax is to frighten you into deleting
the file.

Symantec has a webpage which deals with this at the Link/URL below:
