chkdisk forced error then advised to remove win repair V4.

<< < (2/2)

Boggin:
I have Norton Security and it went through a phase where it objected to Windows Repair - it's a false positive,

The workaround was to whitelist www.tweaking.com for a while until the Definitions moved on.

However, as Kaspersky should have been isolated in Safe Mode, I'm not sure why you were still unable to install.

Are/were you able to install any other programs ?

These are the steps to whitelist for Kaspersky Total Security - https://support.kaspersky.co.uk/11444

Windows Repair has its own uninstaller which would have fully removed it.

In Win 7 you access it via Start - All Programs then scroll down to Tweaking.com and expand it then click on the Uninstaller.

Since getting back to Win 7, can you run a chkdsk /f and note if it reports any KBs in bad sectors.

If it does, then run a chkdsk /r and create a full system image onto external media.

When done, run a sfc /scannow to see what that reports.

Lotrus:
I've followed the white list instruction so will try in a bit.
I'd done the scannow yesterday and it didn't see any issues.

Boggin:
I was wondering what you meant by it screwing your HDD - was that chkdsk or Win 10 ?

I'd run the chkdsk to see the status of your HDD.

Lotrus:
chkdsk ran prior to win10 install damaged my HDD then I reverted back to win7.
Just had a blue screen STOP:0x000001A after spotting an unknown file labelled avg in russian looking lettering.?

Boggin:
It's still not clear from your reply if chkdsk or Win 10 damaged your HDD - neither of which I've heard of before.

The only AVG that I know is an antivirus program which could be conflicting with Kaspersky - have you ever had AVG installed ?

Use this article to download and run the AVG Remover and then see if you get any more BSODs - https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=How-to-uninstall-AVG&supportType=home
