Solved! DUZOY File in my C Drive

[computerteen]

Please help me! I've been looking everywhere on the internet and still can't find anything relating to this file in my C Drive. But for this beginning, I have to say that my computer's hard drive is acting very dumb and is consistently blue screening with BCCode 7B and 116. Me and my father found out it was the hard drive that was starting this and we were suspicious that it could also be a virus playing with my computer. So we ran attrib and sfc /scannow but of course to no avail of finding any file corruptions that could be a virus. We did however use 'cd..' twice to go into our C Drive and from then, We used attrib to see hidden files in our C Drive. I found a file named 'DUZOY' and I suspect it might be a virus, I need to know what this file is and if it harms my computer.

So what leads you to believe that "DUZOY" is a virus of some sort?

I don't know, It just seems out of place cause I haven't seen it on any other C Drives since I have more then 1 computer and like I said, There was nothing relating to this file via Search.

Exactly. If it were a virus, we would probably find reference to that string somewhere.
I didn't.

For the hard drive ...have you run the manufacturers diagnostic tool?
Seagate Seatools, or WD Data Lifeguard?

Is there anyway I can get to the tools listed by you? I've heard about the Manufacturers Diagnostics Tool but I don't really know how to get to it. I would be really appreciated if you could help me find the tools.
