I tried to derfragment but a box came up and said chkdsk is run on volume C fo run chkdsk/f. I did that but computer said I couldn't run it because Volume C is in use by another process. I ran read mode chkdsk and it said 4 files deleted and errors found. What do I do? I am sure have trojans and a virus because I can't get my virus protection to work either. It stops and when I try to restart it a box comes up and says access denied.Can anyone help me?

Chkdsk won't remove a virus! If you want to run it, this is how...



Click Start then Run and type...



CMD



Hit Enter/Return, then type this in the command window



chkdsk /r



Hit Enter/Return, tap 'Y' then Enter/Return to run the scan at the next boot.

Type EXIT and re-start.



Remove the virus...



The key words here are SAFE MODE!!!



Turn System Restore off. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

In the System Properties dialog box, click the System Restore tab.

Click to select the Turn off System Restore check box. Or, click to select the Turn off System Restore on all drives check box. Click OK.

Click Yes to confirm that you want to turn off System Restore.





Download, (if you can't get on-line, have a friend download and copy to disc/flash for transfer) install, update and then in SAFE MODE* run full scans with these programs...

**Note: Malwarebytes should be run in 'Normal Mode' unless that isn't possible!



*** Important, when downloaded/installed/updated disconnect from the internet ***



Then re-start.



Turn System Restore on. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

In the System Properties dialog box, click the System Restore tab.

Click to clear the Turn off System Restore check box. Or, click the Turn on System Restore on all drives check box.

Click OK.





If you can't run a scan, go into the scanner's folder and re-name the .exe file to something like 'MyFile.exe' and try in safe mode again. Some malware prevent the execution of anti spy/mal/virus scans by blocking them by name.



You should consider getting a good Anti-Virus program.

Try one of these free ones...

***Never use more than one, active, anti-virus program at any one time***



*Note: On start up (before Windows loads) keep tapping either F5 or F8 (be aware that some manufacturers use F8 for system recovery!) then use arrow keys to highlight 'Safe Mode with networking' and hit Enter/Return, click on a user account, enter the Administrator password (if you don't know it, there probably isn't one so leave it blank) and hit Enter/Return.

Restart your system in Safe mode and do disk scan. Please not, disk scan can not remove virus. For virus, you need to scan with an anti virus software like norton, avast, avg etc.
