            It seems that your NTFS volume is hosed. My suggestion is to try a disk
    repair on each of your partitions. Open up My Computer -> Right click on a
    volume -> Properties -> Tools tab -> Repair -> Automatically fix -> Answer
    Yes to confirmation for repair on next reboot -> reboot.

            Alternately, it could indeed be a virus or worm...

    Subject: [WinMac] Mystery Con

    Hi all

    I have a colleague running a Mac graphics network with Cyan MacServerIP
    running on an Alpha NT server. All has gone well for over a year, but
    suddenly (and he has not been able to connect this with a new install etc)
    files of 0k simply called 'con' are appearing. Binned from the NT, they are
    immediately replaced by a similarly named file. Binned from a Mac, they
    start counting up from a minus number of files being trashed!

    The server is not connected to the outside world, Services for Macintosh is
    switched off and it is only running as a file server. Any clues?
