DEP prevents playing avi file!

[Guest Jack]

Hello,

I have downloaded some video (avi) file from the web.

When trying to play it using Media Player it involves the Data Execution

Prevention.

What can be wrong?

And from WHERE did you download these .avi files?

Are they critical .avi files? If so, why?

What happens when you play other .avi files and from a different source?

[Guest Jack]

Re: DEP prevents playing avi file!

 

What about antivirus software?

Is it capable of detecting virus inside avi file?

I use NOD32.

Thanks,

Jack

Submit the file to http://www.virustotal.com/ and see how multiple AV

scanners report on the file.

[Guest Jack]

Re: DEP prevents playing avi file!

 

Are you suggesting the antivirus installed on PC (updated of course) is less

reliable from some online services?

 

The avi file I have is amost 400 MB and uploading it to the online service

does not seem good option to me.

Also, I installed VLC player and can watch this file without a problem.

The problem is caused by Windows Explorer only.

Even when searching for other avi files on my hardrive, Explorer deploys DEP

as soon as it comes accross that file (without openning it!)

Re: DEP prevents playing avi file!

 

If you are convinced that the file is free of malicious code then you

can disable DEP system wide via the boot.ini file or you can disable DEP

for select programs in the Data Execution Prevention settings, look in

the Windows help files for more information. Of course this is at your

own risk, if the file does contain malicious code and if the code does

execute while DEP is disabled don't come back here crying.

It is a feature of explorer that it can display certain things about a

file, without you opening it for viewing. Some of these things involves

the codec you've installed on your computer that is used to decode the

file. If the codec/file is bugged, strange things can happen.

I'm suggesting that you run multiple anti-virus scanners from various

vendors against the same file. Go to the site. Have a look at the list

of scanners they use. They include all the popular ones and lots of

others.

 

Are you suggesting that just one antivirus program install on a PC can

detect every possible pest and that it is always more recently updated

than all other antivirus products and that just one antivirus program is

the end-all to all antivirus programs? If so, how could any of the

others possibly survive?

[Guest Jack]

Re: DEP prevents playing avi file!

 

I have tested and the problem looks bigger.

It does not matter which avi file I use.

Even commercial .avi files supplied with the programs cause the same

problem.

As soon as I click on the file (it does not matter left or right mouse

click) it invokes DEP!!!

It looks like DEP does not like avi files at all!

I cannot even rename it without having DEP on me!.

However, when I change avi extention to something else there is not a

problem.

I am using Win XP PRO SP3

Your thoughts please,

Jack

Re: DEP prevents playing avi file!

 

What program is associated with AVI files?

 

Try changing the program association and see if the problem goes away

Re: DEP prevents playing avi file!

 

As I said before it does not require opening the .avi file to have that

error.

It may not be a virus, but you cannot conclude that from what you know.

Most often it is a bad codec, but a virus can also trigger it.

I had the same problem! Masage - D E P and following closing all win.

explorer Windows

And the decision on the problem was - to remove "ACE Mega CoDecS

Pack" and to instal "K-Lite Codec Pack". That's all!!!

No more DEP Mesages! sorry for bad English.
