1.	Solve : Challenge to anyone who can explain this.?
Answer» My son downloaded World of WARCRAFT from Riot Games and put the package on his desktop. He installed the game and left the downloaded package on the desktop. I noticed something was accessing his HDD at a very high rate. I opened resource monitor and traced it to the desktop install package of the game into a file called datacab2. I HEAR some game suppliers LIKE Origin will scan your comp for hacked/cracked versions of games but this is very UNUSUAL that it was not a file in the game after install causing this thrashing of the hdd. I deleted the install package and removed it from the recycle BIN and it all went away. other info: I booted the comp and had not opened the game and it was active thrashing the hdd from the install package on the desktop. If anyone has any info , reason, or can find out, please reply. I posted here because it seems to me this extreme thrashing of the hdd would be destructive to a hdd over time and seems malicious in that way. You sure it's not data2.cab? Google shows that games from Riot Games have issues with data2.cab during the install. Some installers "call home" during the install process so that may explain the constnt disk activity if the installer is having issues creating the data2.cab file. Also I don't see WOW on the Riot Games website. Are you sure this download was from a reliable source?
