- A friend of mine mentioned that he had been cleaning up the disc on his
- machine and found a file in his root directory called SUICIDE.IBM taking about
- 50k bytes. He immediately ran SCAN to check for viruses but found nothing. Has
- anyone else found this file on their machines? Can you tell me where it comes
- from and whether it is benign or malignant?
-
- He is runing DR DOS 6.0.
-
- Could you E-mail any replies to me as I do not have regular access to the news.
