    I believe this may be related to the Linux Subsystem for Windows.

    From: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ws…

    Linux abstracts file systems operations through the Virtual File System (VFS), which provides both an interface for user mode programs to interact with the file system (through system calls such as open, read, chmod, stat, etc.) and an interface that file systems have to implement. This allows multiple file systems to coexist, providing the same operations and semantics, with VFS giving a single namespace view of all these file systems to the user.

    VFS implements the various system calls for file system operations by using a number of data structures such as inodes, directory entries and files, and related callbacks that file systems must implement.

    Unlike Linux, Windows file systems are by default case preserving, but not case sensitive. In actuality, Windows and NTFS do support case sensitivity, but this behavior is not enabled by default.

    As discussed above, Linux diverges from Windows in several ways for file systems. VolFs must provide support for several Linux features that are not directly supported by Windows.

    Case sensitivity is handled by Windows itself. As mentioned earlier, Windows and NTFS actually support case sensitive operations, so VolFs simply requests the Object Manager to treat paths as case sensitive regardless of the global registry key controlling this behavior.

    I do remember working in these directories under bash via the Linux Subsystem for Windows.


    I’ve found a solution.

    Using 7-Zip I can create a 7z archive of the “Data” folder. Call it “Data-1.7z”.

    And another archive of just the “data” folder. Call it “Data-2.7z”.

    Then I can safely delete both “data” folders (they are identical as I proved above).

    Then I can safely extract both archives and Windows should create them as one folder.

    It appears to be a valid codec produced by some of the new European video cameras according to a tech at ‘Best Buy’, unfortunately the drivers etc. Only come with the Camera(s). It seems that the Rpex codec is somehow related to the divx.
    The guys at VideoLAN forums have checked it out and are odds as there is no mention in the camera’s program of it, but is mentioned in rpexinstaller which comes with the camera’s installer package? Try scanning the file with Malewarebytes first then try the following;
    If you don’t have divx you can try two programs to delete it:

    compuneedy,

    Do you have a Lexmark printer?

    Please do not remove Registry keys! Unless you are very sure of what to do with the Registry, it is a dangerous place to use as a ‘learning experience’…

    If you are experiencing redirections, do the following:

    Please download TDSSKiller
    http://support.kaspersky.com/downlo…
    Save it to the Desktop.

    Double-click* on TDSSKiller.exe to run the program.
    Vista/Windows 7 users, right-click the file, and select: Run As Administrator

    Click the ‘Start Scan’ button.

    Do not use the computer during the scan

    If the scan completes with nothing found, click Close to exit.

    When the scan finishes it displays a Scan results screen stating whether or not an infection was found on your computer.

    To remove the infection, click on the Continue button.
    If it does not say Cure on the results screen, leave it at the default action of Skip, and press the Continue button.

    Do not change to Delete or Quarantine as it may delete infected files that are required for Windows to operate properly.

    Reboot to finish the cleaning process.

    If no reboot is requested, click on: Report.

    A log file named TDSSKiller_version_date_time_log.txt (i.e. TDSSKiller.2.4.0.0_27.07.2010_09.o7.26_log.txt) is created and saved to the root directory (usually Local Disk C:).

    >>Please provide the contents of TDSSKiller in your reply.<<

    Now, re-start your computer.
    Tap the F8 key before Windows starts, to bring up the Windows Advanced Options menu

    Use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode with Networking

    Press: Enter

    In Safe Mode with Networking, download iExplore.exe, which is a renamed copy of RKill:
    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/dow…

    [If the file does not download, paste the following, >without the brackets<, in the address bar of your browser:
    [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill]

    Save the file to the Desktop, and double-click on it.
    Ignore any messages, and allow the file to run until the command window closes.

    Without a reboot, download Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware (black button with green and white icon) Save to the Desktop:
    http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebyt…

    Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.

    Run Malwarfebytes’ AntiMalware and update the program.
    Once updated, select Perform Full Scan and click the scan button.

    When the scan finishes, click OK in the message box, and you will see the results of the scan.

    Click the Remove Selected button to get rid of the malware.

    When Malwarebytes finishes, you may be prompted to reboot. If so, reboot.

    >>Please post the >Malwarebytes log< in your reply.<< so we can see where we are at, and plan any additional removal strategy.<<
