Been working on an older HP4445 with Win98. Doing a lot of system maintenance
with spyware/virus programs, but having a problem with scan disk. When I try
to run defrag, it stops at 4% checking drive for errors, and says that the
defrag can't be completed due to errors. Run ScanDisk. When I try to run
ScanDisk, it always hangs (progress bar) near the "A" in "Advanced" over on
right side of window. If computer freezes and then is rebooted, the
automatic scan starts. If I let that run, it hangs at 85%. Is there any test
or other thing I can try?? Please help.
PS. I always use AdAware and SpyBot. My friend paid for NoAdware and
SpyBlocsv3.0. Does anybody know if these are any good? Is it OK to run 2
adware and 2 spyware programs? ( I know I shouldn't run 2 anti-virus programs
at same time.) AdAware caught 150+ items even after I had run NoAdware.
Thanks.
