Ahh, best known as Spoofing. It's not coming from you, the sender is just making it look that way. Yahoo is riddled with spammers and spoofers. Also, keep your eyes out for botnet invasions. I had that on my yahoo account but I gave it up because I was fed up with yahoo. Gmail is a lot better as is Hotmail. So, yeah, common issue, and hopefully if you can capture one of the messages and report it, then you can solve your problem readily. Hope this helps.

I agree with this program acting like a virus. DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS WHATEVER YOU DO. ONCE IT'S IN YOUR MACHINE, YOU CAN NOT UNINSTALL IT. I learned this the hard way. I thought it would help my computer but it didn't. But I caught onto it before it had a chance to take a hit at my machine. I had it removed by a Dell tech right away, and I called the company that supported it. I reported the issue, and hopefully, this program will recalled and removed from the list of credible programs.

Look at all that carbon being released into the atmosphere! Someone's

All that anti-virus money - up in smoke!

SMART is ok. And i cannot find any entry in the event-logs.

I did the test with activated and deactivated write-cache: Same behaviour.

At the moment i have no clue. The most important question is: Is there

Thank you for the explanation.

As i said in the other reply, this is new. I dont talk about a few
seconds. I have to wait a minute.

Processexplorer does not show the program, after i started and ended it.
So this problem has to do with the file on the harddisk.

That is unusual. What development tools are you using?

Check your SMART status on your hard disk or the event log to see if
something is being detected.

I never had this problem before. I have to wait more than a minute.

I suspect this is the OS keeping the file locked for paging.

Windows memory management (MMS) optimizes paging for executables by
loading the executable binary and loading it into memory, if it needs
to discard a page it uses the LRU algorithm to discard executable
pages and rather than write them out to the page file it simply
