[comp.virus] Why I didn't find the virus.exe

I87BC@CUNYVM.BITNET (Daniel Pan) (06/16/91)

A friend of my got viruses.  I use scan v77 to check it found the
partition table was infected by sotned and the file
C:\DOS\KILL\VIRUS.EXE was infected by jerusalem.  I also use Virx 1.14
to check the C drive, the only hard drive she has, and find stoned-b.
But I could not find the file VIRUS.EXE exist. The kill subdir only
has four files and neither is VIRUS.EXE. Does any one know what
happened ? could it be a hidded file or Scan gave the fault alarm ?
But the Clean did doing very well when cleaned those viruses.  I
cleaned the hard disk before I thinking about this question!
