   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
