General Computer Support / Re: Disc repair and check disc both hang up before they are finished

« on: September 20, 2015, 02:09:36 pm »

There are a large number of files that I do not have access to because a user called-EVERYONE  - has inherited permissons to them . This user just suddenly appeared one day and he is slowly taking over my pc .

Thank you the AVG removal tool got rid of all 236 AVG files and folders that were left on my pc . I used another tool fix dot net and it left a cbs file that I can open . What am I looking for in this data. Also I still can't install the .net updates from microsoft . There are emty folders in the .net folder . .net framework is not listed in the programs and features section of the control panel . There is no uninstall for the .net framework . I fuond a page at mirosoft forums that han all the downloads for .net from the beginning . Do you think it would be alright to delete the C:\programs\,net folder and down load the whole thing fron the beginning ?

Windows Vista 32 bit in 6 year old Toshiba Satellite intel 585

   I did the chackdisc r . I went ahead and bought ZoneAlarm Extreme Security and Malwarebytes Premium and those are the two security programs that I am running now . I have been having other problems too . I tried to install Eraser and windows said that it could not install the program correctly because dll files are missing . then I got another windows message saying that .net needs to be reinstalled . I still have those 12 updates that I have been trying to insall for two weels now . 11 of them are for .net and the other one is for IE9 . I get error code 643 .When I looked this up it said to reinstall .net framework .
   Also when I uninstalled AVG Free it left over two hundred files and folders that did not uninstall . I have tried to delete them but windows says that as administrator I don't have permission to do this . There is a user called EVERYONE that is inheriting permissions for them and has complete control over them . Avast Free also left a lot of stuff behind when I uninstalled it . Ccleaner has not touched any of this stuff .
Does anyone have any idea what I need to do ?

After I did a secure wipe ( 35 time write over ) of the free space wiyh Ccleaner Check Disc works fine . There are still two of tweaking.Coms programs that do not work . Registry Compressor shuts down and the computer restarts as soon as I click on the compress button . Windows repair took over four hours to finish today the repair windows section of Windows repair got stuck on resetting permissions for several hours the first tome I used it but the wipe With Ccleaner helped that also . I am having problems now with the curser jumping aroun while I am typing . Also sometimes when I am typing gibberish shows up on the screen . The letters will be all scrambled up .
 I got rid of AVG free antivirus and now have a 30 daytrial of Zone Alarm Extreme Security . I am now using Malwarebytes and ZoneAlarm as my only security programs . If the ZoneAlarm works out I will probably buy it . I still have a paid version of Spthunter 4 But I uninstalled that .

Toshiba Sattelite L355 vista sp 2
I know I have a virus but microsoft forum told me there is nothing wrong with my computer . A while back I had a file suddenly appear on my C drive - C:\$RECYCLE.BIN; - Microsoft forums told me this is a normal windows folder . If so why did it suddenly appear after six years of use on this pc . This folder along with all the folders that turned into shortcuts have EVERYONE in control .When I go to the security tab in the properties window and try to remove EVERYONE I get a popup saying I don't have permission to make these changes . It also says EVERYONE is inheriting permissions from its parent . The first time I run across EVERYONE in cotrol of a folder and tried to change it I got a message from windows help satind that in earlier versions of windows if you deleted everyone then no one could access the folder but that has been corrected in newer versions of windows . I don't know if this is connected to the other problems but I get a lot of webpages that quit responding . Sometimes there is a pop up saying that a long running script causing the problem . After I run Tweakings windows repair For a while I can delete EVERYONE from the folders permission list . After a while I can no longer make these changes and the ones I had changed are back to EVERYONE controlling the folder . spyhunter4 and AVG both did remote control scans of my pc and could not find anything . I was using AVAST Free antivirus and am now running AVG Free and neither of Them has found anything I uninstalled spyhunter4 and bought Malwarebytes Antimalware and it hasn't found anything either . I am seriously thinking of tossing the hard drive and installing a new one . I ran Ccleaner free space wipe and that seemed to help some . After that Check Disc worked alright And on Tweakings Windows Repair repair section it was able to run till it finished without any problems .I still can't send attachments or pictures or anything to anyone either by email or uploading to a website .

  I mean Windows will not let me add any attachments to my Yahoo mail . Also I can not upload pictures to Friendlife or Facebook . I ran Ccleaner last night to do a secure wipe (overwrite 35 times) of the emty space on my hard drive . Ater that Check Disc and Tweakings Windows Repair worked fine but there are still a lot of problems on my pc .
I have files turning to shortcuts to the file . When I click on the shortcut I get a message that I don't have permission to access this program . If I right click and click explore the original folder will open . If I close it the original folderand its contents are gone . I have been making a new folder and while the original foder is open I copy and paste the contents to the new folder .Then I close the original file and it is gone . Windows Explorer can not find it . I then go back and use AVG file shredder on the shortcut That took over the original file .Then I rename the new folder after the old one . I have had to do this with my pistures folder this morning .
I started having a lot of problems with my pc after a folder (C:\$RECYCLE.BIN;) just suddenly appeared an my C drive a while back I don't have permission to do anything with this folder .The original C:\Recycle Bin is gone and now a hidden file named C:\RECYCLE BIN has replaced it .I have had show hidden file and folders checked since june 2009 when this was new .

Vista service pack 2
  Today when I ran your program checkn disc froze about two thirds of the way through the check emty clusters . I let it run for several hours and it was stil on the same cluster . It was turned off and started a second time and the same thing happened at the same spot on the disc .
  Windows repair froze on section three - Reset Service Permissions -  of the repairs . I tried this again and got the same results . It would rum for a couple minuted and the stop on repair servise permisssions . This time I had it quit working on section 4 . It finished the rest of the repairs in a few minutes .What suggestions do you have about fixing this ? There are several other problems wit my laptop that I will start another post on .
I notice the log folder has the wrong times on the logs .
Thank you for your help
I tried to send the logs files but the attach wouldn't work .

I found that AVG can do a command line scan in safe mode . When I ran this it found a lot of stuff and removed it . That helped a lot of my problems . Tweaking.com windows repair finally is able to run completly through the program . My computer is working better but it still has problems . I might need to start another thread on that .
thank you for your help .

Thats the reply I get from Tweaking Winindows Repair version 3.4.2 . The Litle box in the top section that appears when you click on update has a line in it that  says checking online version and a few seconds after you open the update window this line will say checking online version error . This will not let me check for updates .

The microsoft program did not help . Neither Reimage Repair or Tweaking showed up on the list of programs it found .I have Spyhunter 4 and it Found 89 unwanted programs after installing your software .
I have Reimage Repair on my computer because when I opened Tweaking this morning it said there was an updated version available . So , I used the link in your tray icon to go to your website . Once there the first thing I found was a download for Reimage Repair and a recomendation from your site that I should install and run it before I updated Tweaking .I now find this to be very poor advice .
Reimage Repair and Tweaking neither one show up in the programs and features section of the control panel .

No I did not , reimage repair froze before I could do anything .I used the task manager to get it to close . Now Windows can not uninstall the program .I went to the Reimage Repair folder and tried to delete it and as administrator I do not have access to this file . Now tweak will not open a window . When I checked the processes in the task manager there are six instances of Repair - Tweak.exe running right now and I can not close any of them .
How can I get this mess off of my computer ?
HELP ! HELP ! HELP !

I downloaded the updated version of your program . When I did there was a scan tool you recomed trying . this program from AVG did the scan and found three viruses . One of these viruses was contained in the tweaking program . When it's scan was finished the progrem froze . I had to use the task manager to close it . I then ran Tweaking and it did the first scan and I ran the first repair program and when it rebooted tweaking will not open .
I now went back to try to figure thing out and found that there are five processes of tweaking.exe running at once . I tried using the task manager to close them but they will not close I guess I will have to try to reboot again .
