These antivirus scans and defragmentation clash?

(This happened once... a while ago so I don't remember every detail... and I just want you to...)

my friend recommended should I defrag my computer.

for the VERY 1st time, so I decided to leave my computer to defragment at night. at the same time, I decided to launch a norton 360 virus scan.

When I woke up the next morning and checked my computer, the defragmentation is NOT ended (I don't know if he stopped or he has not done Defrag, but I left it to defragment for 10 h + and I'm SURE he finished defragmentation after 10 h +) and analysis antivirus norton 360 stopped at a certain file (I don't remember which file it was).

This occurs when you run a virus scan and Defrag at the same time? or should I worry that it is a problem of computer virus?

Hello

In short, what you saw is not a problem. Both at the same time should not be a problem because they have different levels of priority (i.e. it must not interfere with each other). It is normal to see still some fragmentation when a routine defragmentation is complete, not all files can be moved.

The only thing I would be concerned with is the file of your Norton stopped on software. That normally happens only when it has detected either a possible infected file, or it is looking for confirmation from the user.

  • Try to run a 'error checking' and 'defragmentation' on my computer

    Hello

    My computer was slow, so I would like to run a 'error checking' and 'Defragmentation '.

    When I try to run the "error checking" I get the following message: "the disk check cannot be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk. These files are accessible only by restarting windows. You want to schedule this disk check to occur the next time that you restart the computer? " I tried to restart Windows and check the disc again, but I still get the same message.

    When I try to run a defrag, I get the following message: "Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chdsk is expected to run on the volume: HP_PAVILION (c)." Please run Chkdsk /f.' I've repeatedly said no to checkdisk start in the previous paragraph, but I always get these messages.

    No information as to how I can solve this problem?

    Thank you!  Kara

    Maybe you will need to follow the instructions more closely.  If your repeatedly said 'NO', how it's supposed to run checkdisk?

    1. Click to open the computer.

    2. Right click on the hard drive you want to check, and then click Properties.

    3. Click on the Tools tab, and then under error checking, clickCheck now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

      To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, selectAutomatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report a problem, but not to fix them.

      To perform a full disk check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This scan is trying to find and repair physical errors on the hard drive itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

      To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix file system errors andScan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    4. Click Start.

    Depending on the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.

    Note

    • If you select automatically fix errors of system file of a disk that is used (for example, thepartition as containsWindows), you will be asked to reschedule the disk check for the next time you restart your computer.

  • Advice needed on scanning and organization of large amounts of family photos

    I have about 4000 photos, I need to digitize and organize, and would appreciate information on the experiences of people with similar projects - specifically what scanners and software editing/organization work well (or not) and why. I am interested in scanning experience, naming, entering in the metadata tags / and storage on an external drive (or drive possible cloud) as effective as possible. I have a MacBook Pro towards 2012, running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6, processor 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8 GB 1600 Mhz DDr2 memory

    I waited for someone to answer, but no luck so far.

    I think that, maybe, the question is too broad, but you hit on a lot of issues that I tried to respond in support of my own digitization projects. These are essentially old photos and family concert tickets, I've gathered that I want to geocode instead and add an event date to sort the pictures correctly in my reader, I now use pictures all to also store the main images in the form of files in folders.

    One of the first things that you need to consider what is my final use, how will be I be display these carelessly or what their final destination, that is to say: the screen or print. Next, you will need to examine and decide what are your basic quality standards.  Is it an archiving project where you might want to get the maximum resolution to capture your images or you are looking for very high resolution - pixel specific pick - and go deep with it.  What types of files you save; jpg or RAW or another.

    Don't forget the file type is like a box and the picture is in the box, you can have the same image quality in each type of file and each has positive points and negatives, jpgs are the most common, can display high-quality, but at the root with loss.

    It is to you and how you want to store, manage and share.  You could take a sweeping super high ground - better as your scanner may take - and a large jpg copy for sharing, etc.

    Depending on how you answer the above, in terms of desired scan quality, will affect what kind of scanner that you buy. I used several descent average range flat scanners, a versatile case and a wand at a crossing through of dock that I just got.

    I decided quite a while that I'm not in the business of archive I'm in enjoy it there and share business. IF they look good in an email or on Facebook or on my big screen as screensaver, even for the large TV. Then, I have what I need. It is for me. Others feel differently. For me in the end, it's the time it took to take a sweeping super high quality in order to get an image, which overwhelms my screen and has a huge file size. You have to play and see what works for you.

    I just got this scanner wand 1200 dpi with a dock charger and it quickly arranged a pile of concert tickets at its highest quality of scanning. I was happy with the initial results and I can't wait to make some pictures.

    There are a lot of details, you can enter each of these topics, but here you say basically software that controls the scanner. On a flat bed I hope you can scan several small images at once by selecting them in the program. You select the output resolution, file type, and can perform a variety of other adjustments to the image, which some will be dictated by the source.  As the digitization of old photos 'black and white' in color.

    You will need to consider certain issues of workflow here, the scanner software will generally look to create file names to sequential access to what you are scanning. If it's a large image at a time, you can name each or there may wish to work through a lot of dimensions and similar features and then mess with the baptism and the meta data later.  You will find what works best for you as enter you.

    You have now all these files. For me, it was ticket_1 - 90.jpg who had to have their date, time and locations adjusted. I've been messing around with photos of geocoding for years and so far my favorite geogocder and meta-data tool is called photolinker http://www.earlyinnovations.com/photolinker/ that I started using it because I was using a geo - stay with my regular camera and I wanted to match the Geo-trail of the recorder for pictures and this tool does that very well , with tools for helpsync the time of the image and geolog times. or you can give it an address or a city or a block and he will score as many images you select. It will give them a geocode latitude and longitude (altitude in some cases) as well as the metadata for the region city of the State, etc.

    It also gives you quick access to metadata, including tiles, descriptions, keywords, etc. and I do as well of this titration and marking here as I can. as well as the geocoding.  Dates are a very special case that I will come back soon.

    So analysis stuff you give a whole bunch of files and you need to decide how you want to sort and store them. My family photos I usually sort in events and it is pretty easy because the images were of particular type of event and then something holidays. So I in my folder of photos folders called things like:

    1909 - Granma baby pictures

    1931_12_25-moms first Christmas.

    1952_07_21-dad comes from the service.

    etc with this kind of naming structure. months of the year and day, if I know that it and the event.

    The photos then if there are few have specific names for files. If it is more like '1986_07-Florida_ #1-72' and let the meter. If I can be precise date in each event, I try to do, since we are talking about scans and no pictures of digital cameras, if the clock is set right and phones that capture this info.

    The deal with dates, as I mentioned earlier, can be a mess and I have found no real primer on how best to define and manage the dates on scanned images, but here is a part from what I understand. First of all remember that the dates of creation and modification in your finder associated with the file that contains the image, but not necessarily the image itself. Each image also has various sets of metadata that is stored with the images, called EXIFdata, this is where you find the geocoded and other data type keyword, you may be added, such as discussed above.

    As I said I have use pictures formerly iPhoto to see my images now and it does not always play nice with dates, but I think I understood now that it uses a date edit EXIF, to place images in the long scenario.

    Other non-traditional software I use for batch file renamed and full playback and editing of EXIF data are GraphicConverter 10 adata-and-more-on-your-mac/ https://www.lemkesoft.de/en/image-editing-slideshow-browser-batch-conversion-met

    This should be a lot of things to get started, I've always wanted to write that down and happy to now have at hand. Many men of straw - for people to start to sting to, assisting us on the tools and means better or different. I hope. I also hope that this help find you your first steps. Good luck.

  • Why hp disables the use of scanning and faxing because of the low level of ink on my photosmart c4385?

    Why hp disables the use of scanning and faxing because of the low level of ink? Printer says print cartridge missing or not detected. Doesn't make sense to me because the ink has absolutely nothing to do with the other functions. Since I bought this all in one I replace ink twice and I only printed about 10 pieces of paper for nine, making these extremely expensive 10 sheets!

    try reseating the cartridges once more & switch off the printer and remove power & other cables connected to the printer & press & hold the power for 20 seconds & then reconnect all cables back & then turn on the pritner & try to use that will solve the problem...

    @Beatle1

    I don't know any that you can do - at least not with this printer.

    Comment

    The data output "scan" should have a place to go that recognizes the printer.

    The printer can not save the analysis itself (missing the ability of the internal program to do); the analysis should be shunted to a destination, it's a smart device as a computer, which knows how to translate the raw data into a file format.

    Once the data are translated and saved in a format appropriate for the type of scan, and then you can send data to the printer and the printer can present a paper copy of the information.

    Assuming that you have a Windows (or even Mac) computer, you can use the printer software to scan and then save the analysis to the computer data.  You can then ask the printer to print the file made from these data.

  • Are these real vulnerabilities and if yes, how can I fix them?

    Several identified via a Kasparsky Security Scan - "vulnerabilities" are these serious questions or not?  If so, what should I do to solve?  I use Windows XP SP 3 and, above all, the Firefox browser, although always use Internet Explorer, from time to time.  I use Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes Pro, which did not identify malicious software or virus problems (or have the Kasparsky scan).

    (1) C:\WINDOWS\system32\msxml4.dll
    (2) "debugger detected system process.
    (3) ' Autorun of drives is allowed.
    (4) ' Autorun for network drives is enabled. "
    (5) "CD/DVD autorun is enabled.
    (6) "support removable autorun is enabled.
    (7) ' Windows Explorer: showing extensions of known file types is disabled.
    (8) ' Windows Explorer: view the extension of known file types ".

    Thank you!

    Is there a help function of some sort with the Kaspersky product that explains these messages?  And does not offer the KSS to 'correct '?

    These elements are "vulnerabilities" because they allow a behavior potentially at risk, although some of them appear to be riskier than others.

    For example, many business computers are configured to prevent the operation with removable media (aka flash readers) to prevent malware carried on a USB key to infect computers as soon as you plug it autorun in.  On the other hand, it seems far less likely to me that CDs and DVDs would be as risky as flash drives.  See http://lifehacker.com/5858703/disable-autorun-to-stop-50-of-windows-malware-threats
    Some other entries are mechanisms that malware could use, even if the item itself is not malicious software (msxml4.dll and debugger process system).  For example, in 2006, Microsoft released a security fix for msxml4.  If you did not keep your system up-to-date by using Windows Update, maybe you have the old version of this.  Or maybe Kaspersky think that there is a new problem.  See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms06-071

    If the display of the extensions of known file types is disabled, the malware can dress up with an innocuous name.  For example, a file named Readme.txt is obviously some sort of information.  If the display of file extension is disabled, it will appear as simply readme - and might actually be readme.exe, so if you clicked on it, instead of opening a file in Notepad for you to read, you can proceed with the installation of some malicious software.
