Guys - Since I started this mess ... This is what I researched AFTER I sent 
that email:
(I do apologize; I usually pride myself in researching first before reacting 
- my husband didn't have it because he was on a different operating system.)

The following hoax email has been reported in Brazil. The original email is 
in Portuguese; it is followed by an English translation.

CAUTIONS:

This particular email message is a hoax. The file that is mentioned in the 
hoax, however, Sulfnbk.exe, is a Microsoft Windows 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.
The virus/worm W32.Magistr.24876@mm can arrive as an attachment named 
Sulfnbk.exe. The Sulfnbk.exe file used by Windows is located in the 
C:\Windows\Command folder. If the file is located in any other folder, or 
arrives as an attachment to a email message, then it is possible that the 
file is infected. In this case, if a scan with the latest virus definitions 
and with NAV set to scan all files does not detect the file as being 
infected, quarantine and submit the file to SARC for analysis by following 
the instructions in the document How to submit a file to SARC using Scan and 
Deliver.
If you have deleted the Sulfnbk.exe file from the C:\Windows\Command folder 
and want to know how to restore the file, you should contact your computer 
manufacturer or Microsoft for assistance. As an alternative, If you are 
running Windows 98 or Windows Me, see the document How to extract files in 
Safe Mode under Windows 98 or Windows Millennium.
NOTE: The instructions in this document are provided for your convenience. 
The extraction of Windows files uses Microsoft programs and commands. 
Symantec does not provide warranty support for or assistance with Microsoft 
products
