unknownasphyxiated Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 maybe because windows think the folder got ".virtualbox" extensionif you remove the dot before virtualbox, does the problem still occur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Windows allows this behavior only for files - not folders (unless your system is infected.) :think:To see this behavior with files navigate to Control Panel >>----> Folder Options >>----> View >>----> {enable/disable} Hide extensions for known file types.

(and I KNOW they are not infected)Hiding the extension type will have no effect on folders as they don't have one ?RegardsDodel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Could you enlighten me please, I think I miss-understand what you mean ?In short, Windows allows only Files to hide their extensions - not Folders.I'm saying that suddenly, if the Folders are (also) being observed to hide their (man-made) extension - I'd suspect an infection. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Good, whatever tools you used and whether they solve your folder issue or not - just consider that you've at least caught up on your maintenance. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christantoan Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Sorry, still not resolved. The problem come and go at random interval. Usually after restart, it'll gone but will appear at later time. sorry.And I guess those hacktool are from my trainer program which is false positive even though I don't know about the cglogs.dat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
