Hi all,
I noticed my SD card on Android 4.4.4 (Moto G) was slow to explore, and this was due to thousands of 0-byte files without extension at the top directory of the SD card.
The file is always empty and named after the same pattern, like a Windows registry key. Only hex characters, 32 of them, grouped as 8-4-4-4-12.
Example :
/storage/sdcard1/ab490a24-0a6c-47eb-80a8-037d06a5a165
These files need to be removed manually. I noticed they appeared only when some activity happened on the phone. They stopped being created when I de-activated the Avast App-shield and File-shield.
Therefore I think it comes from Avast. Can anyone tell me if there is a trick to stop that, or if it's a bug?
Thanks,
jb
