Dr. Divx = EVIL!!

[Jeff7181]

After defragmenting I found out from the report that a file called KGyGaAvL.sys found in C:\Windows\system32\ couldn't be defragmented... it's 252 MB and had 3 fragments. Thinking it might be a virus or something, I looked it up on google and found out that it's a file created by Dr. Divx. Apparently others have deleted it after it has grown to over 1 GB is size, but I can't even find it! It doesn't show up in ANY directory listing... it only shows up in Disk Defragmenter.

I guess what I'm going to try next is selecting all the files in the system32 folder, moving them to a temporary folder... deleting the system32 folder, then creating a new folder and putting those files back...

I've been using the latest version of Dr. Divx (v1.04) for about a month now with no problems.

I did find the file KGyGaAvL.sys in the \System32 directory like you described. I only found it after doing a file search using the exact filename. Browsing using Explorer or Powerdesk doesn't reveal anything, and I made sure I had hidden and system files visible.

Mine only appears to be a few KB in size, though.

That's really odd. I'll keep a view on it when I'm encoding to Divx and see if anything changes.

This is crap... I want that POS gone!

Do you have system files hidden? If so, turn that off and try to find it again. Not sure if that will help, just a guess.

Mine is 2.76kb, I have encoded about 100 gigs of stuff with DrDivx. I guess I'll watch it next time for kicks.

Fixed it by putting the drive in another computer and doing what I described. The file definately existed because now I have an extra 272 MB (error in my original post, it was 272 MB, not 252)
