is this the only time you get the error?
do you get it entering any folder, or just folders with videos?
or is it any newly created folder?

hmmm, are these files saved from a specific program? Or does this happen from your browser as well?
If is occuring with a specific downloading P2P program it is likely a virus from the specific application as is common among them.

*which virus scanner are you using, a common mistake users make is assuming that a virus scan coming back clean means you are not infected.

*Does this happen to a folder that has had files saved before this problem started?
