• Help! Computer hangs during attempts to complete or defragmentation (MS) (MSE) virus scan or CHKDSK C: /f

  Help, please!  My computer freezes whenever I try to run a full scan or use the MS defrag it came with.  I have an important job who needs to back up, but I'm afraid that I shouldn't be where it is a virus.  I would really appreciate the help.

  Details:

  Windows XP Home Edition
  Microsoft Windows
  Version 5.1 (... Service Pack 3)

  Current system:
  Microsoft Windows XP
  Home Edition
  Version 2002
  Service Pack 3

  Info of current Disk Defragmenter:

  (Was only 15% of free space at the beginning of the problems, before I removed or reduced the old files)

  Antivirus:
  Originally from Norton 2006, now uninstalled and replaced with the current Microsoft Security Essentials

  Browser: firefox version 3.5.9 (IE too but do not use)

  The story so far:

  FIRST PROBLEM: ACCIDENTS CAUSING SLEEP/HIBERNATE / SCREENSAVER?
  I am back from vacation and turned on my computer.  Soon, he wanted to upgrade me to the latest Firefox (must have been 3.6?).  He may have also updated my windows automatically.  Then whenever the standby/hibernation/standby screen came (not sure what was the culprit), the computer would crash - I would just get a gray screen when I tried to find by moving the mouse.

  'SOLVED' BY:
  I restored the system to a few points saved from before I agreed to install the new firefox.  I also stopped the computer goes on standby or into hibernation.  I couldn't work on how to disable the screen saver.  Standby/hibernation/standby order screen blocks the computer after that, and I took care not to upgrade to firefox 3.6, once again just in case, stay with the version that I was on, but continued to accept upgrades (now on 3.5.9).  I have always been accepting the automatic updates of windows however, because I was told that I should do.

  UNRESOLVED ISSUE: ANTI-VIRUS AND DEFRAGMENTATION DOWN EACH RUN
  So, I now had a more usable computer.  I tried to check virus, but the virus check (Norton, 2006) would be broken whenever I tried to do a full audit.  I analyzed in the MS Defrag tool that came with my computer and I saw that I had 15% free space, so I tried to Defrag.  Defragmentation has also crushed every time, usually at 3%.

  26 January:
  CRASHED ON THESE FILES:
  -Defrag crashed on A0044502.rbf
  -(J'ai remarqué que le nom était semblable à celle de la vérification de virus s'est écrasée avant)
  -Defrag then crashed over the other in a different file type, but I didn't note it (tmp.edb?)
  -Defrag crashed on C:/System volume information/_RESTO~1/RP320/A0045026.rbf (I think that virus check then crashed on this one too)
  -virus scan crashed on A0045030.rbf

  I ran cmd chkdsk_/f, as told to a friend.  He made 3 times and the screen went too fast to see writes said before he started.

  -defragged once again, it crashed on A0045107.rbf

  CLEANUP TO FREE UP SPACE FOR SPRING:
  I then had the end of emergency work, so did not have to try to solve this problem for weeks.  I just don't have the virus scan and did not try to defragment, therefore had no crashes.  When I had spare time, I went through removing unnecessary programs, deleting unnecessary files of old works and by reducing the great graphics work at smaller sizes.  At the time I had finished my rush job and could return to the problem, I got 43% free space.

  Wednesday, April 8:
  BACK TO ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM:
  -J' uninstalled Norton 2006 and then installed Microsoft Security Essentials to see if it would take viruses.  QuickScan revealed no.  Full analysis has crashed every time unfortunately.
  9 April:
  -CHKDSK C: /f or crashed was working incredibly slow (1/2 hour on the same file) both times I tried to do.  Both times it crashed on 66% to check the data of the file (4 of 5)
  SFC - typed term: the black box will Flash up but then disappears so fast, you can hardly see.  Nothing else happens.  I tried several times.
  -J' restarted the computer in "safe mode with command prompt" and tried SFC/scannow and got the following error:
  "Windows file protection could not initialize a scan of protected system files.
  The specific error code is 0x000006ba [the RPC server is unavailable]. »
  -J' rebooted 'safe mode' and typed SFC term.  Same thing happened as has happened before in the windows.
  -J' rebooted 'safe mode' and tried a full analysis of the MSE virus.  After an hour of working, it crashed in this file: C:/System Volume Information/_restore{5C5FC002-5FB5-4560-96DA-E32D8569FB2E}/RP320/A0045038.rbf.  This happened just after I clicked on a tiny with my notes Notepad document, although I don't know if that's what he did or has not already been blocked.  I managed to take a break and he reactivated just before it crashed.  The complete virus check was almost over, guessing 80% to the green bar.
  -J' tried to Defrag in 'safe mode', which soon crushed on C:... A0070595. MSI
  All these accidents April just cause the screen appearing to freeze because the virus check or defrag did not move from the file it says that it was on... then when I would try to stop it, the screen completely freezes so I have to manually shut down.

  Please help me solve this problem!  Should I save my work?  If I back up and there is a virus, then my backup external hard drive could be infected.  But if I do not support, I could lose a lot of work.

  Thank you very much.

  Speedlauncher Adobe is a legitimate program, while orangefirefox.exe presents itself as an infection by the worm on a google search.

  It's a little unusual that Kaspersky would freeze even in SafeMode... perhaps running a chkdsk might help take the files that programs AV and defrag crash on: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

  You may disable the system restore: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310405 and this should get rid of all the restore points and then hopefully no longer break when scanning, but make sure you turn it!

  But sometimes I come across systems that had infections as well as at the end of all the damage that has been caused, it is better just to do a reinstall.

  Hello

  "This suggests my protection Microsoft antiviruss files have been removed or disabled."

  Do you have MSE installed or you are using any other other than Norton 360 AV?

  If so, uninstall it, you must have AN AV installed.

  With the Windows Firewall settings, Norton 360 uses its OWN firewall.

  http://KB.Linksys.com/Linksys/GetArticle.aspx?docid=5611fc67a247495bbdcef8b9d4018842_Norton_360_Firewall_Configuration.XML

  You should not have more than one firewall running.

  Choose Windows or norton, NOT both.

  Read about Defender:

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

  And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

  "How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"

  Or the program Autoruns for FREE:

  "V11.21 Autoruns for Windows"

  Hello

  ·         What program Antivirus do you use?

  This problem may also come from Virus/Malware infection on the system.

  I suggest you to run the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if that helps resolve the issue.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  Note:

  The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  I'm speculating here. But he sounds the alarm when reading your post. So, I have to answer this. If I am mistaken, my apologies.

  What did you use to search for viruses?
  You go to the site and use one of these 'free scanning' offer?
  And done at the end of scanning, in addition to tell you that you have zillions of viruses, it is also suggested that you buy a product to get rid of the virus?

  If that were the case, it was a centuries-old scam. Don't fall for it.

  Install one of the programs legitimate AV (antivirus), use it to the anti-virus scanning, do not scan virus online. (except Windows Live OneCare, which is legitimate).
  Here are 2 free programs that you can choose. They are one of the best:

  Hello

  Couldn't find this name on Google, it is spelled correctly? Could be malware.

  The reason that you can not remove it is that's probably because it loads at startup.

  =========================================================

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
  the regular windows when you can.

  Yes. In addition to an anti-virus program, you must also at least one
  anti-spyware (two or three is even better) program. Windows Defender is
  an anti-spyware program.

  But keep in mind:

  I think McAfee is one of the two worst anti-virus programs on the
  market (Norton is this one). I recommend that you run eSET NOD32
  If you are willing to pay for anti-virus software, or one of the
  the following three if you want for free anti-virus software:

  Avira
  Avast
  Microsoft Security Essentials

  For anti-spyware, I recommend running all three of the following:

  MalwareBytes AntiMalware
  SuperAntiSpyware
  Windows Defender.
