Just scanned with v5. What to do?

Error: Error while pre-processing C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTimeWebHelper.Resources\ru.lproj\QuickTime WebHelperLocalized.qtr: Cannot create file "\\.\cON". The system cannot find the file specified

Hi,

Have seen this now and then since I joined, its nothing new. Seems to occur for me when a lot of other stuff is running, if TH is scanning without too much else running I never see this error.

Gavin: First time this error has occurred with any version of TH on my machine. The QT file in question seems to be a Russian language file. The two errors I list point to the same file. The file does exist and I have scanned it with TH and it says nothing found. Shall I just ignore.

Ok, I think I've figured out what the problem is: When TrojanHunter processes files with embedded data, it extracts the data to the Temp dir, with a random file name. As it turns out, sometimes this random file name can be "Con", which is not an allowed filename on Windows for historical reasons. So therefore you get this error message.

It should happen very rarely though. If you re-scan this file you should not get the same error message. I've corrected it in code for the next release.
