Hi

Those are scanning errors. Have you ran chkdsk lately?

These are leftovers, you can fix them with HijackThis:

ok so I can just check the ones that say no file in the Highjackthis box and fix? correct?
I didnt know what they were so I thought it may help. I know I have a virus as when I scan before my system crashes it does say virus detected, but I cant get any virus check to complete in order to fix or remove. I dont know what program to use or what to use at this point. In the very beginning about almost a week ago when I first ran SDAT I noticed as it ran one of the lines said Swizzer. gen.b detected...renamed..then the process kept looping.
Hi

"ok so I can just check the ones that say no file in the Highjackthis box and fix? correct?"

Yes :)

I recommend that you run chkdsk /f (start - run - cmd - ok - chkdsk/f - enter and reboot if asked) and try again after that.
ok I ran chkdsk in safe mode and this is what I got:
Repairing Usn journal file record segmant
CHKDSK discover free space marked allocated in the master boot file table<MTF> bitmap
CHKDSK deisovered free space marked as allocated in the volume bitmap
windows found problems with the file system

then it says I should do a chldsk /f to fix

I will removed those entries in HJT then run from command chkdsk and after do a chkdsk/f
Correct?
Yes :)
Ok ran chkdsk/f went through it then ran chkdsk ....took care of everything but "windows found problems with the file system"
Ran again same thing... hmm :(
Hi

Then there might be some physical problems in hard disk.

You can try hdtune next and tell me if it finds bad sectors.
Ran HDTune and everything is ok? what else can I try. :shock:
I have to say shaba, I really do appreciate you trying to help me with this. I have never seen anything like this one. Normally after a period of time I would just start over and reformat but I have too much important stuff on this one and my maxtor external wont even let me format it. I must have disconected it when it wasnt ready. How can I run a program on that to fix it so I can backup my system? Sorry another problem..lol..Maybe I will see if I can somehow use that hard drive program on it. but it doesnt recognize it.hmmm...guess we can cross that bridge when we get to it. just really wanted to say thx...I know you will think of something...Maybe we should change the Topic as operator malfunction...
Hi

You can try to plug into another computer as a slave; that might help.
lol..I thought of dipping into my graveyard of HD's. I did get the external running. But I still cannot run a complete virus scan on my PC. I know its infected and reallly want to fix it. If you cant give me anymore help on it I could do a wipe on the drive. I have so many programs on it and hate to go looking for them. :(
Are you giving up Shaba ? :) I guess I wouldnt blame you. Why would a system not let one not let a complete scan go through. temp is good. I always have lots of fans and keep the sides off. memory is corsair with heatsink and I have tested them. I am not an expert on virus's but I do know they can hide pretty well. this one is smart. the person who wrote it made it so you cant even detect it. Also no one has even heard of this virus.
lets give it one last try????
I have everything backed up except my email.
plus I have two other PC's
:)
Hi

There are no visible malware on HijackThis log.

So I think it might not be malware at all.

"I know its infected and reallly want to fix it"

How do you know that for sure?

It can be hardware (HD) related issue as well.

But we can check this:

Download and save this to desktop

Run it and post back log it creates, please.
this is what I have from the post
