Annoying stream loss thing

[phil66]

Hello all,

Whenever I copy to my USB stick I get a "Confirm Stream Loss" message for each file saying, "The file 'file name' has extra information attached to it that might be lost if you continue copying. The contents of the file will not be affected. information that might be lost includes:" and then in a box below it says :KAVICHS:$DATA". This happens with EVERY file whether it is a .doc .jpg or .exe plus all other file types. I have a feeling it has something to do with Kaspersky anti hacker that I trialled recently but I can't fathom out what to do about it. I have only used the USB stick with my own PC, I just keep very important stuff on it in case of fire I keep it out of the house.

Any ideas?

I have a feeling it is something to do with kaspersky anti hacker program that i trialed but no longer have on my PC.

Cheers

Phil

sounds like a problem with going from FAT (your USB Drive) to NTFS (your hard drive) i've done some searching on google for this and have only came back with "thumbs.db" being the culprit...

this link doesn't help much but says that :KAVICHS:$DATA is caused by going from Kapersky 5.0 to Kapersky 4.0.. something about 5.0 puts data on every file it scanned saying that it scanned that file so future scans would ignore this file...

so i would first try making a file (.txt, .jpg, whatever) and try copying that over to the USB drive and back to see if it causes the "stream loss error".

I'm not sure about a fix to this, but ii hope i have shed some light onto this issue so someone else may help you out.
