Hello maranatha-lord,

c:\windows\winsxs

Asking to run the chkdsk
It is Windows component store system directory is used during servicing operations within Windows installations and updates.

Please stop trying to run SystemLook and do the following:

Step 1.
System File Checker
  1. Please open the Start Menu, type cmd in the search box, right click on cmd.exe (at top), and click on "Run as administrator...". The elevated command prompt opens to C:\Windows\System32>
  2. In the elevated command prompt, type sfc /scannow, then press Enter. Please be patience - it may take a while...
  3. Wait for the prompt. When the scan is complete, copy and paste the command below, and press Enter. 
    findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfc-scannow.txt"

    This will place a sfc-scannow.txt file on your Desktop
  4. Close the elevated command prompt.
  5. Open the sfc-scannow.txt file on your Desktop by Notepad.
  6. Please copy and paste the contents of the sfc-scannow.txt file in your next reply.


Step 2.
Check Hard Disk For Errors
  1. Please open the Start Menu, type cmd in the search box, right click on cmd.exe (at top), and click on "Run as administrator...". The elevated command prompt opens to C:\Windows\System32>
  2. In the elevated command prompt, copy and paste the command below, and press Enter. 
     chkdsk c: |find /v "percent" >> "%userprofile%\desktop\checkhd.txt"
  3. Please be patience - it may take a while...
  4. Wait for the prompt. When the scan is complete, a file icon named checkhd.txt should appear on your Desktop.
  5. Close the elevated command prompt window.
  6. Find and open the checkhd.txt file by Notepad.
  7. Please copy and paste the contents of the checkhd.txt file in your next reply.


Please post each log separately to prevent it being cut off by the forum post size limiter.
Check each after you've posted it to make sure it's all present, if any log is cut off you'll have to post it in sections....

Please include in your next reply:
  1. Do you have any problems executing the instructions?
  2. Contents of sfc-scannow file
  3. Contents of checkhd.txt file
  4. Do you see any changes in computer behavior?


Thanks,

a) First problem/issue to note is that Malwarebytes popped up saying it had blocked a site - I didnt catch the name but it was like 888.com or something?

Just going through the scans now

Hello maranatha-lord,

First problem/issue to note is that Malwarebytes popped up saying it had blocked a site - I didnt catch the name but it was like 888.com or something?
When anti-virus or anti-malware program blocked some-thing, at least it means that the program is working properly and you made a good choice when selected and installed it! :) There are a lot of web sites that marked as dangerous by many reasons. So lets MBAM to continue...

Step 2 didnt do anything?!? No txt file or message etc produced?

Hello maranatha-lord,

Thank you! Good job! :D

Step 2 didnt do anything?!? No txt file or message etc produced?
It is possible, especially in case when chkdsk did not find errors. On the other hand, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the computer is in an advanced age, and the hard drive has begun to fail. Maybe it is time to think about replacing the computer with a more modern one?

Please run SystemLook scan one more time:

Step 1.
SystemLook
You should still have SystemLook.exe on your desktop.
  1. Right click on SystemLook.exe, select "Run As Administrator..." to run it. If prompted by UAC, please allow it.
    If you receive an "Open file - security warning"... asking "Do you want to run this file?", press the Run button.
  2. Highlight and copy the following entries: into SystemLook's main text entry window.
    (Do not include the words Code: Select all - instead of it please click the Select all button next to Code: to select the entire script.)

Are you sure that it was most recent log?
