Hi everyone. I'm work as a redundancy helper for people recently out of work but also have to do most of our IT related stuff. I have recently found a folder called "nul9" on my personal FTP server (I was testing stuff at home) which wasn't created by me. I can't seem to remove this and, not sure if it's related, but my hard disk space is slowley dissapearing! Any ideas what this is caused by or how to remove the folder? Could it be a virus?
If it's on your local machine but not the server here support isn't going to be able to offer much in the way of help, I'm afraid. You should probably do a thorough virus scan of your computer(s) to see if any viruses or malware are found.
