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.

My E-mail address is al@mma.guild.org
