When I run CHKDSK it reports "0 bytes in 1 hidden files" and I am wondring if I have a virus. I have been unable to see a hidden file with 0 bytes with PCTOOLS or Norton Commander. I would appreciate any comments on how I could list all of the hidden files, or how does CHKDSK find hidden files (i.e. is it looking for the second bit set ?) Thanks, Tasos Internet: tasos@cs.bu.edu

In volume 2 issue 217 of the virus list, Tasos notes that CHKDSK
report "0 bytes in 1 hidden files" and wonders if he has a virus.
This seems to come up fairly often when new people join the list so
maybe an automatic answer is needed. In any case, Tasos probably ran
CHKDSK on a disk with a volume label as that will exhibit his
symptoms. I.e. it's not likely that Tasos has a virus.
