General Computer Support / Re: SFC Scan Results

I managed to run a chkdsk when I put the Windows Install DVD into my laptop and entered chkdsk /f

Then I ran another sfc scan and attached are the results.

From what I can tell it says that some files are corrupted and then it just stops. Almost like the SFC crashed.

It would be a good idea to run a chkdsk on the system next

Hmm... I've been down this road before, and it doesn't end well. Last time I needed to do a chkdsk to correct an issue related to contracting the Win 7 Virus that was floating around. Long story short, my laptop will not do a chkdsk.

If I tell my computer to do a chkdsk, it says it cannot run because the drive is in use and cannot be locked while it is running. If I try to do a chkdsk after a restart, the computer reboots without running the chkdsk. There is a step after that, but I forget what happens (I think it involves starting msconfig and commanding Windows to start in Minimal mode, but that messed with my computer). Any suggestions?

Trying to understand the results of my SFC Scan. Can anyone help me? CMD said it got to 42% verification before it ended.

Oh, a ton of new viruses come in through security holes in java and flash. Always make sure to update those.

If you got infected by simply looking at websites then I am willing to bet either your java or flash is out of date

Yeah, I had the same experience as this guy (http://www.reddit.com/r/self/comments/nyj4q/apparently_the_last_post_about_this_did_not_get/) except I was on imgur. I was able to fix it easily, but the second time it happened, I was on another site, saw my Java icon pop out and knew something was up...

I haven't run ComboFix, although I might give it a whirl now just in case. Yesterday I had a whole catastrophe with my MBR getting corrupted (or something like that; I still don't even understand what and how it happened). I'm just thankful that I'm up and running again.

Just checked the file and man did SFC replace a lot of files!

But I couldn't find any errors on anything important. So I would say you should be fine if your not having a problems

Shane

What does it mean that SFC replaced a lot of files? SFC is a part of Windows that is just initiated by the utility, right?

I know that I had that cheeky "Win 7 Anit Virus" malware when I downloaded Tweaking.com's tool. I assume that's what caused the issues...

Sorry about that! Can't believe I forgot to attach the log.

I hope it's alright that I uploaded it to HotFile. It came out to 3.79mb which was too big for the attachment feature on this site.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on a Dell Vostro 1520 with 8GB of RAM.

I'm, not even sure that I have a problem, but I used the System File Check feature and got the error that "Windows Resource Protection found some corrupted files, but was unable to fix some of them." (http://i.imgur.com/ovsoH.jpg)

Is this anything to worry about?

I just got done with fixing my MBR and a few weeks ago I had some registry issues after a virus. Since then, I have been running Malwarebytes and AVG scans, Startup Repair, chkdsk /f and /r, and Dell Diagnostic scans constantly, but I have no issues.

What can I do and what should I do with this news?
