hi,

so client os not server os right? make sure have antivirus software installed , running latest patches. try running full scan. also microsoft mrt removing malware. wasn't aware of kind of behavior.

like dave asked, path , file types might provide help. check see if have scheduled tasks run on computer.

if server os there deduplication feature works great not sure available client os.
