Continuously scanning a folder that I cannot delete

I have a folder (on a network drive) that used to work perfectly fine with my Divx Connected server. Then one day it started continuously scaning this folder and sub-folders without end (even after killing the process). I attempt to remove the folder from the monitored folders (it removes it from the list successfully, but the scanning continues) and when I restart the server software it reappears and the scanning problem comes back. I'm not exactly sure what I can do to fix this issue.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the Divx Server software will not scan any of my other folders because of this issue as well.

You may need to uninstall and also kill processes.

In addition to un-installing, you may need to kill all DivXConnected processes in task manager. Also, do you keep the previous settings when asked during the install.

In order to fix it I had to completely uninstall Divx Connected software, remove all saved settings, make sure the Divx Connected folder was completely deleted. Then restart and reinstall. It then finally worked properly after that.

Every time I remove the suspect folder, it reappeared in the Divx Connected software when the machine was rebooted (or the software was restarted). I uninstalled the Divx Connected software in an attempt to fix the problem, however the folder still appears in the scanner. The software is currently scanning all of my movies and will randomly stop on an mkv file and not continue (all of the movie files worked flawlessly prior to installation).
