I have just come to know that desktop.ini may be a virus-infected file if it has it's end-parameters all "negative". Is it true? For e.g. this is the content of my desktop.ini file:
[.ShellClassInfo]
InfoTip=@Shell32.dll,-12690

has an end parameter -ve, i.e. -12690. This happens when it is infected by some Redloft virus, otherwise by default it is a positive value. Is it true, because I'm a lot sure that my comp is not infected.

OS: Windows XP/Vista.

Well that's not the case. My updated Kaspersky Antivirus couldn't detect it. That's not a virus-removal query, but an info-query. I want to know whether Redloft does so or not as I stated in my question.
