Can't access or scan a certain folder- erg?

Hey all- running Home Premium 64 bit on an Asus notebook, and have come across something I've never seen on a Windows machine. It appears to be a corruption in the file system, but I'm not certain and have no idea how to proceed..

I noticed while running two separate spyware scanners that they were freezing up. I did a little more digging and found they were hanging at what seemed like an infinite loop on one directory. It essentially looked like this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\Splendid\Apple\Mobile Device Provision\Apple\Mobile Device Provision\Apple\Mobile Device Provision\Apple\Mobile Device Provision\Apple\Mobile Device Provision\Apple\Mobile Device Provision\Apple\Mobile Device Provision.....

Now bear in mind, there is no business for a \Apple\Mobile Device Provision directory to exist in this utility's directory!

Anyway, any scan would result in a freeze that required a hard boot. I tried browsing to this directory with explorer, which would also freeze the machine.

I tried a command line "dir" listing, which only showed the first '.' directory, then froze the computer.

So, I have no idea what to do- do I try defragging? Deleting this directory?

Thanks for your help!

This was probably used for the iPhone. Can you temporarily rename the directory? See if any "apple" applications and/or processes are running. If so, stop them. Then try to rename, move or delete.

Quick update- I was on with the Asus tech support guys for quite a while, and we could *not* get chkdsk to run, tried marking the drive as dirty, ran it as admin each time, no matter what we did, could not get it to scan the disk on reboot.

chkdsk wouldn't run or complete?
