Give us some background? Is this a log record with Defender as a source?
If you do a chkdsk of the E drive, does it find any problems?
What do you know about this file--is it something that could be malware?
Have you tried submitting it to other scanners (
www.virustotal.com)?
If you copy this file to another location on your system, does it still
cause the crash?
If this file, by itself, with no disk error being present, crashes Defender,
I'd like to get it to the Defender team. I believe that the false-positive
form on the web now has a file submission section:
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/isv/fpform.aspx
At the end of that form are a set of file submission instructions. If you
can replicate this crash with the same file in more than one location on
your system, or, ideally, on two different systems, I'd sure love to get
this to the attention of the development team.
If the crash goes away when you move the file from one location on your
system to another, I'm not sure what to say--still worth talking about, but
I don't know how to get it looked at unless we can come up with a way to
replicate the problem on a system that the developers can actually look at
directly.
