Help Please

I recieved this email from a friend today..I do have this on my computer..but I know sometimes things arent what they seem,I hate to delete things with out knowing for sure if they are true...thanks for the help
Here is the letter:
Got an email from a friend that there is a virus out there and when I followed these instructions I had it, so you might want to check your computer out.

Directions for removing:

1. Go to "start" then to "find or search" (depending upon your computer)
2. In the "search for files or folders" type in sulfnbk.exe - This is the virus.
3. In the "look in" make sure you're searching Drive C
4. Hit "search button (or find)
5. If this file shows up (it's an ugly blackish icon that will have the name sulfnbk.exe) DO NOT OPEN IT
6. Right click on the file - go down to delete and left click.
7. It will ask you if you want to send it to the recycle bin, say yes.
8. Go to your desktop (where all your icons are) and double click on the recycle bin.
9. Right click on sulfnbk.exe and delete again - or empty the bin.




HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL
