I have just recently bought a Macintosh Plus, and after loading up all the
software I had onto my Hard Drive I ran Disenfectant and found what it
thinks is a virus.  The error it gave me reads:

   Desktop
### File infected by WDEF A.

There is no file called Desktop on my drive, does this mean the desktop
itself is infected by this virus?  It also mentions that the file is open
so it cannot clear the virus.  What can I do about this?

None of my other files seem to be infected.

THanks in advance,
