How to identify and/or kill a process - doesn't show in process explorer

I download several TV torrents my kids are obsessed with. Frequently, a program called "AVI Chunk Viewer" pops up. When it does the torrent halts - uTorrents complains because another program (this AVI Chunk Viewer) is accessing the file.

More than a little googling implies this program is part of AVI Splitter, and/or maybe installed with a codec pack. But I don't have AVI Splitter, and only have the "official" Divx and Xvid codecs installed.

Morever, I don't even see the process. I downloaded Process Explorer, thinking if I could figure out what's spawning it I could figure out how to fix it. But I've gone through each process and nothng seems obvious. They're all identifiable... none video-related.

Any ideas how to ID what this is, or kill it whever it pops up?

TIA.
 
Yes. I have Google Desktop installed. Are you suggesting that may be the problem, or to use that to try and find the culprit? I have tried using google desktop to find "chunk", "avi chunk", etc - nothing.
 
Try disabling its indexing, as a fact-finding step. Maybe it's trying to horn in and index the file and/or get a thumbnail of the video. I'm just shooting in the dark, but it seems possible 😕
