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.
