[OT ?] Unwanted {Icon\return} files here and there: virus ?

Sorry for this ?Off Topic?, but it is verry annoying for me in one of my 
projects.


One of my projects analyze a (user) selected folder and build an html file (for 
each 6 or 7 found file in that folder) that present
the folder contents.

For an unknown reason, I found sometimes an invisible {Icon\return} inside some 
folders (but not all). Of course, these
{Icon\return} file do not contains the parent folder?s custom icon (if it was 
the case, I will know it !)


Yes, it is possible for me to make a test for the presence (or not) of this 
file, don?t use it and remove it from the folder count.


But, it can be a virus result (or some mysterious process result) and maybe I?d 
better know the apparition process :( or :) !


Hardware: Power Macintosh 8100/80 AV (40/400++)
Software: MacOS FU1-9.1
          No special init


TIA,

Emile


PS: I found my computer slow (very slow) these last months...
