I have a 326-MB AVI from a pocket camcorder.
Whatever it is went wrong, also includes that DivFix++ does not recognize this file is AVI.
Is there something I can do to this file, to enable DivFix to process it?
Thanks!!

Some files has avi extension but they are actually not AVI file.
Please open that file with HexEditor (like mine wxHexEdit) and see if it AVI file. AVI files are start with RIFF text.

If you mind, you can also send file to me for inspection (for free :) ). Thanks.

Thanks, erdem.

I opened it in wxHexEditor, searched for RIFF, that appears nowhere in the file.

Thanks for your generous offer to inspect the file. I will attach it to this thread; let me know if I should do anything else such as e-mailing the file.

You will notice the file contains this string Bloodhound.Exploit.238. This is what happened:

At first, the file was on the flash drive in a mini-camcorder, and XP, Vista, and various apps could not get access. At the same time, my Symantec AV was declaring this Bloodhound Exploit and "cleaning it", each of numerous attempts at accessing the file.

Eventually the SEP AV had enough time, to finish "quarantining" the file -- moving the file from the flash drive to the Quarantine folder on my HDD. The cryptic filename was assigned by SEP.

I have scanned it, and apparently there is no virus now.

Thanks!!!

Been having difficulties uploading the file. About 30 sec to several minutes into each try, I get "can not display this page".

Will try again every so often.

Could it be the file size?

Sorry for being late. There is no mail sending by adding comments. I realized this now...
You cannot attach 30 MB file here. You needed to upload some online shares like www.netload.in and put here the download link. Thanks.
