    I'm using Vista Ultra 64bit. After booting up and logging in, I noticed that the hdd light stayed on. I checked resource monitor and it says some svchost was scanning my media files. I had some 720p files so the scanning would've been really slow. Multiple files were being scanned simultaneously. I renamed one of the files and it stopped scanning that file.

    Anyone know what it's doing? The only program that runs on startup is my Avast anti-virus... And network usage was 0%.
