@Valkrider & micheal36 - how do the files get to the folder that Calibre is monitoring
I suspect something is holding a lock on the file, its unlikely to be a malware scanner unless you're using something obscure. Its much more likely to be something associated with the download process.
If you're downloading direct to the folder that Calibre's monitoring, and its 'slooow' and the download software writes direct to the final file - eg "TheBook_TheAuthor.epub", then Windows could notify the file has been created whilst the downloader is still writing to it and holding a lock on it.
I'm not sure what calibre does if it finds that the file on which it gets a notify is locked. I have a suspicion it may pop a visual notify message from the tray - if the tray is enabled and tray messages are not disabled.
Windows broadcasts messages when file system events occur, its up to the listening application to deal with the event. If the application can't deal with the event, perhaps because the file is locked, then that's the listening applications problem. Some folder watchers deal with locked files by sending themselves a 'remind me of this in 10 minutes' message etc.
You could download something like Unlocker or Unlockit to see if something is holding a lock on the files - but be aware that by the time you look, the lock may have been relinquished.
