Self Duplicating Files
LockedOut of all my PC’s in my office, this one is doing some weird stuff. And it was set up identical to all of the others.
This PC, running Win2K Pro has a 40 Gb HD partitioned into a 15 Gb and 25 Gb partition. There is also another 80 Gb hard drive on the system.
All the files are saved on the secondary (25Gb) partition by default and the 15Gb HD has the operating system and applications.
Over a period of day, we notice that all of the files are being copied over to the C Drive including the file & folder structure. There are no backup routines running and the user doesn’t accidentally save to this location. We’ve moved them several times and over a period of a few days, they show up again. Is there something that may have gotten set that I don’t know about?
This same thing happened to this user on the previous machine he had before I changed it out. I’m completely confused as is the user. Nobody else has access to it except him or I.
Help and thanks.
