Virus-like writing to file?

I received an alert from my av (DrWeb) after an update;
"virus-like writing to a file detected: windows\system\dplaysvr".
I feel certain this was a false alarm, but my questions are:
1) Why would I get this alert, and
2) Am I being told that dplaysvr.exe is doing the writing or is something writing to dplaysvr.exe.

Just a guess: Maybe the file tries to save data in its own executable. I suggest you send the file to the support of DrWeb for investigation.

Thank you wizard. I will do as you suggest.

Yep I wouldnt be too worried because its just after an update. The directplay server component file mentioned is a part of DirectX too, so probably they updated some heuristic detections, and need to examine the activities of that file more closely

 

Thanks Gavin.
That pretty much explains it to me.
