When removing malware, damaged or corrupt files?

I have a microsoft technology removes the fake Vista Total Security 2011 on my computer.  Then my IE wouldn't load and I couldn't get a satisfactory answer (on Sunday).  I reinstalled my windows vista operating system and had to reload everything from scratch.  All my previous files are in a file called windows.old.  Question: If I transfer files from windows.old in these circumstances, will be corrupted files?  I want to transfer my files from windows.old MP3 music.  I am also risk reinfecting my system with a virus if I do this?

I don't know that other answers exactly answered your 2 questions so:

When the malware is removed, it is possible that the files could be damaged or corrupt, but only occur if malicious software has infected these specific files, so in the process of getting rid of the malware, the AV program is perhaps not able to distinguish malware from the original file, so it could just delete the entire file and then you would have problems because the file is now missing.

Unless the MP3 files became infected, it shouldn't be a problem to copy. However, as Steve has said it's a good idea to get a good AV like MSE realtime and an additional scanner for all what MSE doesn't pick up, like Malwarebytes. If you use both to analyze the Windows.old folder before copying anything, this would significantly reduce the risk of infection of your new installation.

  • Removal of damaged and unreadable files

    After recovering from a failure of the HD, restoration has added a few corrupted files. I can't remove them and have used all of the methods suggested, I could find (for example, chkdsk, disk cleaner, unlocker, safemode, Hiren BootCD)? Apparently the failed drive content/caused some files to become corrupt were then copied to the backup file and more later restored corrupted.

    I replaced the defective drive and then restored from a backup, Acronis. The Documents and Settings folder found \temp so I could copy the files needed for new Documents and Settings. Everything seemed to have worked fine until I tried to remove the Documents and Settings is no longer necessary to \temp. Now, I have a number of different files in \temp which cannot be deleted. Error when I try to remove one of the offending files is "cannot delete [filename]: the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

    Can someone suggest another method to clean up this mess short of reformatting the new drive and reinstall again? TIA.

    Hello

    ·         Do you have an error message when you run the disk check?

    I suggest to run the check disk in safe mode and check if it helps.

    WARNING: When Chkdsk detects problems with the file system and tries to repair the damage, data loss may occur. Microsoft does not recommend running Chkdsk with the /f command-line switch unless you have a full backup of your hard drive.

    Attempt to repair the damaged file, the folder or the index system using check diskfile. To do this, follow these steps:

    (a) click Startand then click run.

    (b) in the Open box, type chkdsk /f :, where is the letter of the drive on which the file is damaged, the folder or the file system index exists.

    (c) click Yes to schedule disk check when the computer is restarted.

    (d) restart the computer and let the disk check run and check.

    NOTE: If the hard disk is large, Chkdsk may take several minutes to several hours to complete.

  • Increase the RAM, less corrupt files?

    Hello


    In order to reduce the damaged or corrupt files, you recommend to increase the RAM to reduce these events? I m using a computer with Win10, Intel I5, 8 GB of RAM and use server space to store my files.


    Thank you

    You don't want to hear this, but the upgrade of Windows 7 is hardly a great way to go. I back up all data, perform a reset of the entire system and then reinstall your applications again.

    Rob,

    Sincerely appreciate the info/advice.  I ran sfc/scannow and cropped the results to include only the unable to complete sections.  OK portions have been eliminated for practical reasons.  PC is a Vista PC with SP2 and all updates.  The antivirus program is run several times a week and has identified no virus/spyware/malware.  No other real problems with PC.

    A few notes:

    (1) we will NEVER buy another PC with a trace of all 'games' that is, waste of space and time and a value.  Looking at the impossible to correct entries, they seem to be exclusively associated with functions of game without value.

    (A) we need to participate in this farce of a game or can simply be ignored without affecting

    legitimate operation/functions of the PC?  When close or restart, we get the error message

    0 x 0000142 failed to initialize properly... Other PC functions seem to work well.

    (B) is there a way to clean up the waste of space games so that would solve the problem

    without affecting the performance of the PC? (When try to remove the game worthless hoax,)

    It will not remove them). I know that some of the files 'source' for waste games

    missing.  Since NONE of them will ever by used, is there a reason to worry?

    New problem since the last automatic download of an update to my Windows Vista:

    On Windows Vista, whenever I start a program, I get the error message ' (programname) .exe - damaged file. " The file or the directory c:\program files\common Roxio shared is damaged and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility. »

    I have run checkdisk repeatedly, but always the same error message every time that any program starts.

    I tried to uninstall all the subprogrammes of Roxio in this folder, but the "uninstall" program would not do that.

    I also tried to reinstall Roxio of CD disc programs and Vista wouldn't let me do it anymore.

    My other programs all work perfectly, so I take it that it is not the executable file for these various programs that is corrupt, only the one Roxio.

    The MacAfee program tells me that I have no virus it can see.

    How can I remove this corrupt file/folder? Or at least stop getting this error message?

  • Photoshop Cs5 does not download - file damaged or corrupted.

    So, I have an old laptop Windows I got a full version of Photoshop CS5 Extended installed on. I recently bought a new Mac laptop, and I want to move my software. However, when I tried to install CS5 from this page - Download Adobe Creative Suite 5 products - I received a message saying that the file is damaged or corrupted and I had eject the disk file. Please help me with this, I need my software to work as soon as possible. It's embarrassing and I'd appreciate any help.

    You do not put diesel in a petrol car, and you cannot install of Windows programs on a Mac... unless you want to install a "emulator" on your Mac to run Windows programs

    Even if you download a Mac version, your serial number for Windows will not work, and CS5 is too old for Adobe to do a platform Exchange

    You can buy CS6 and use your CS5 for upgrade pricing - link to buy the CS6 via phone http://www.adobe.com/products/cs6.html

    In ADDITION, to install the old software on a new Mac, you will need to read below

    Install CS5 on Mac 10.11 https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2003455 can help (also for others than CS5)

  • Error message"the file is maybe damaged or corrupted 1610153464 / also cannot open projects in the background 26: 142

    Hi all

    I hope someone can help me.

    I use AE CC/Windows 7 on a Dell, 32 GB of RAM, 64-bit op system, processor: Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU x 5670 @ 2.93 Ghz 2.93 Ghz (2 CPUs).

    So far I had worked on many projects with no problems and then a few weeks ago, project crashing non-stop. The problem has been resolved when I got rid of all the MP3s and diverted to RAM. Once again, it was a problem that I had not in the past and I don't remember changing anything whatsoever.

    Now, it seems that it is impossible for me to export/rendering a project in a Quick time or same AVI file. If its quick time, I get this message: unable to make failure of After Effects error one module output. The file may be damaged or corrupted -1610153464 and if I am trying to export with AVI I get this message: cannot open projects in the background AE 26: 142)

    What is happening with the various projects.

    I have read the forums on hearing that the problem may be a Bug with quicktime and H.264? I never had a problem with it before, but even once when I try to export AVI I get this error message:

    Cannot open projects in the background AE

    I have a feeling that it is associated with quick time. I uninstalled and reinstalled QT, but still not the problem. It will open the old QT files without problem. I tried to download an update of the correction of a bug as a proposed post but I think I have the final reason why it did not work.

    This project has a couple of quick media files H.264. Do I need to convert? They are the cause of all this?

    I'm sorry, I really tried to seek answers in the forums before contacting you here, but I can't find a reason for all this mess, which again appeared a few weeks without any problems for months... If someone can point out an area where I can start looking, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    QuickTime H.264 is terrible. Do not use it.

    Use the AVI file, you have created in your Adobe Media Encoder and use the parameters of H.264 there.

  • Windows Media PLayer 11, removes all libraries and playlists. Message about corrupted files.

    This happens about once a day when I stopped WMP, but this does not happen everytime I stop WMP.  WMP loses all elements of library and playlists.  I can add my music to the library, and WMP recognizes the music and my playlists.  But at some point, it will be lost again. I am using WIndows XP Pro SP3.  Any ideas how to solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    What is the exact text of the message about corrupted files?

    This is usually caused by a corrupt media library. To reset the library, follow the instructions for WMP 11 on XP at http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#medialibrary. Note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too.

  • When running Disk Cleanup, it does not remove anything to "Compress Old Files'.

    When I run my disk cleanup, it does not remove anything to "Compress Old Files' during cleaning.» Why not? I also need more disk space to defragment and I deleted all the programs that I don't use, but is not yet give me enough disk space.

    Compress old files not removes all files, compress files that are rarely or seldom used.

    If you get the low disk space, less than 15-20% free space, then you need to collect as much space as possible. However, the amount you get will not be a solution, only a temporary fix - it that.

    To add or remove programs and Windows components in Control Panel, you can uninstall programs as your plue no use - if you have. Not to be far uninstalling programs, you do not recognize, many elements are required for other programs work properly.

    You can also check to see how much space is reserved for the restoration of the system; by default, many GBs are usually reserved. Also disable hibernation as the file created can be 2-3 GB, sometimes even more.

    You must also consider moving your files and folders on a removable media, such as DVDs or an external hard drive. Still a great flash drive with 4 + GB of space can help, and their prices are reasonable these days.

    In addition to Disk Cleaner, you can consider running CCleaner. This is a free program that will remove the unnecessary and temporary files temporary Internet files of the most popular and many browsers other caches that can be cleaned safely.

    Since you are using Windows XP, there is a setting in CCleaner to remove the uninstallers of patches; These are the Windows Update files you've downloaded and installed over time and are there if you ever want to uninstall the update. But you can save these CD/DVD and then remove them safely from your system to recover the space. If you have ever removed one of these, you may be able to get beyond 1 GB of space.

    CCleaner
     http://www.Piriform.com/CCleaner

    If you decide to try it, by default, that almost everything in Windows Applications and is verified to be cleaned. You must first review the lists (they are compiled by what you have installed) and check/uncheck accordingly.

    Then click on analyze to see what will be removed (nothing is deleted when you click Analyze); When the scan is finished you can double-click on (or right click and select view detailed results) of the entries in the list to get more information.

    According to the detailed results, you can right click for options such as adding to the list of exclusions if you want the deleted item.

    Once that you are completely comfortable with your selections, you can click the run Cleaner button and then OK to put warn before vacuuming will run.

    CCleaner is also a registry cleaner that I don't recommend that you use - even if you have successfully run a registry cleaner in the past, it is quite possible that the next time will bring serious problems; they are not worth the risk...

    CNET editor's review:

    I know that this was not the miracle that you can have hoped, but personally recommended solution is a new, larger hard drive. In the case of desktop computers, an additional hard disk is useful for your personal files, especially for music, movies, photos and more.

    I hope this helps.

  • system32\DRIVERS\pci.sys missing or corrupt file error but windows xp is already preloaded on computer when purchased

    missing or corrupt file error system32\DRIVERS\pci.sys keeps appearing. I had a problem with google chrome and then stop everything. This error appeared. It tells me to use the cr rom boot but xp was already loaded on the sony vaio that we bought a few years ago. I don't know what to do next because I don't want to lose the pictures and music, we have on the hard drive. Any help would be appreciated

    If your data is not backed up, then at some point that the data will be lost.

    Your Sony are delivered with a hidden restore partition or recovery disks, but I do not think that the Sony recovery allows to repair an installation of win, only pure install.

    You must remove the drive and it slave on another PC in order to retrieve the data, or take it to a decent repair shop for them to do it for you
