I recently started finding files on my system in various directories
called null which are zero bytes long. I have no idea where they are
coming from and when I delete them they simply come back again. I am
reasonably sure it isn't a virus but I can't think of what else it could
be.
Does anyone know what this is? If so can you email me as I don't check
news much, thanks.
