A friend used my computer and deleted this file that he claimed was a virus : sulfnbk.exe (had a black icon before it)
None of my virusprogs detected it.is he bullshitting or was it a virus?

nope .. copy paste fra symantec.. :

Sulfnbk.exe, is a Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me utility that is used to restore long file names, and like any .exe file, it can be infected by a virus that targets .exe files.

However, some e-mail worms (for example, Magistr) might sometimes send an infected SULFNBK.EXE in an e-mail attachment.

Bottom line: if you get SULFNBK.EXE in an e-mail attachment, it's probably a virus. If you find it from your Windows directory, it's probably not.
