I have had SuperAntiSpyware running for 12.5 hours and the totals have NOT changed during the last 5 hours, yet when I hit Stop Scan it says it is not finished..Also under the Files Scanned section the same file is listed. Any suggestions?

I am pausing Super and now running ESET

4) The logs displayed corruption of the drive file system. What does that mean? New computer, new hard drive?
5) Please make sure that images are posted for all steps / tests: When you write IMAGES do you mean saved files like eventlog.txt or do you mean an actual screenshot of the control panel screen?

In the 5 Code boxes above are the corrupted files. Do you want me to find them and delete them or what if anything should I do with this info?

How many of these tests can I run while Super and ESET are running?

I'm working my way down post #22 and I will try CCleaner next as it is on my machine.
Do I understand you correctly? You want me to clean all of the System and Advanced items? or do you just want me to analyze them? And do I uncheck the items in Edge, IE, Explorer?

You can run anything while malware scanning is running in the background.

The drives (hardware needs to be checked with HD Tune and Sea Tools for Windows) will be tested.
If there are no significant problems then the drive file system will be fixed running the chkdsk switches.

Different operating systems can be installed on a disk drive. They use different file systems.
If the file system becomes corrupt the files can no longer be read.
This can cause failure to boot or loss of important files.
Chkdsk switches can fix and recover problems related to corruption of the drive file system (NTFS).

Superantispyware was hanging /freezing.

Images = screenshots (snipping tool)

For Ccleaner uncheck:
a) all boxes in the advanced section
b) all boxes in the system section except for
Empty recycle bin
Temporary files
Clipboard
Chkdsk file fragments


The step was to only post image settings.
Do not run the tool at this time as the files if available can be used for troubleshooting.

Super is still scanning, as is ESET, and HD tune Error Scan

The benchmark numbers were low.
The CPU was high.

Place the computer in clean boot > upload V2
Run the benchmark again.
If CPU is > 10 then place into safe mode and repeat benchmarks.

For Ccleaner please uncheck the boxes per the prior post.

When the computer is booted there are different options:
a) normal boot
b) selective boot
c) clean boot
d) boot into safe mode
etc.

In a prior post there were tutorials for each clean boot and safe mode.
Post #22 steps #18 and #19

For Ccleaner check these boxes:
a) Empty recycle bin
b) Temporary files
c) Clipboard
d) Chkdsk File Fragments
