Many of my colleagues have been asking if they are safe if they
simply do not use their MS-DOS computers on 10/13.

My local guru says the volume level may be stored as a hidden file, and Norton
Utilities may be smart enough to not show that one.

This reminds me of the one virus I have seen. Someone found that everytime they
piped their directory through More a file appeared that we knew nothing about.
Each time the file had a different name, always a number. It turned out, of
course, that the mere act of piping creates a temporary file. Since then I don't
worry as much about hidden files.

Re: hidden files

I guess the third hidden file is the disk label. Try removing the disk
label and run Norton again.
