Just tried to run the system look up thing and it wont get past a certain point where the system says something about a corrupt file. I cant get the exact message but its in this directory:
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
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>
In the elevated command prompt, type sfc /scannow, then press Enter. Please be patience - it may take a while...
Wait for the prompt. When the scan is complete, copy and paste the command below, and press Enter.
This will place a sfc-scannow.txt file on your Desktop
Close the elevated command prompt.
Open the sfc-scannow.txt file on your Desktop by Notepad.
Please copy and paste the contents of the sfc-scannow.txt file in your next reply.
Step 2. Check Hard Disk For Errors
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>
In the elevated command prompt, copy and paste the command below, and press Enter.
Wait for the prompt. When the scan is complete, a file icon named checkhd.txt should appear on your Desktop.
Close the elevated command prompt window.
Find and open the checkhd.txt file by Notepad.
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:
Do you have any problems executing the instructions?
Contents of sfc-scannow file
Contents of checkhd.txt file
Do you see any changes in computer behavior?

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?

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?
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.
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.
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.)
Press the Look button to start the scan. The scan will take a while (even more than hour), so please be patient... When finished, a Notepad window will open with the results of the scan. A file will be created (on your Desktop) with the results of the scan, named SystemLook.txt
Please post the contents of the SystemLook.txt file in your next reply.

Unfortunately , you posted approximately 2/3 of the SystemLook.txt log file - please find the line were the log was interrupted and post the rest in your next replay. Or post the entire log again.

OK - just did the scan again and it produced the same thing? Like it is being terminated before fulfilling the scan and therefore the output is truncated ...

Are you sure that it was most recent log? You can check it by the second line of header of log, which contains time and date:
