Hello,

On the last couple of volume C compression runs, there was message about a
file that could not be moved.

The report supplies the name of the file, but I can not find it. According
to the file name, it is some sort of porn file with a .mpg extension.

Attempted to do a search on the file, but it does not show up. Tried to copy
and paste the name in explorer but it can not be found.

The file name is:

\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\gpkrsrc.dll\Vivid dvd - Jenna jameson - School girls sex
beauty hidden camera dbz sailor moon hentai.mpg

Before anyone asks or comments, I have not attempted to download any "school
girls" adult cartoons.

Any suggestions as to how, I may ride my machine of it?

Thanks

Stu

I run both XoftSpySE and Norton, neither seem to have flagged this.

Try something more than just Norton. I have no experience (nor does anyone
else that I know) of XoftSpySE. Update them ALL and then reboot into
Windows' safe mode to run a complete manual scan using each one.

There is a valid gpkrsrc.dll *file*. It is found under C:\Windows\system32.
Its description is "Gemplus Cryptographic Service Provider Resource".
However, there is NOT a valid *folder* by this name.

What is a volume C compression run? Are you choosing to compress the
drive and it finds this file?

Youtube or BitTorrent much? That appears to be one source(s) of this
file.

If the malicious software scanners do not find anything suspicious
about the file it could be that they find nothing threatening about it
and will not report it. Looks like just some .mpg file with a long
name.

How are you searching for it? What do your see regarding this when
you use Windows Explorer to browse \windows\system32? Have you
searched for something like *jenna* and then tried to delete it?

No scanning software knows about everything so if you think you have
some infection, I would expand your scanning to include other
reputable scanners. It may not help you with this particular file
though.

Instead of suggesting "something more", I will suggest this:

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware
detection programs:

Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

They can be uninstalled later if desired.
 
Hi

Thanks to all who replied.. Try all suggestion, but file still only shows up
in C drive compression report.

Will continue to try to delete this file.

Thanks
