1)Bad virus security tool infection start of the year. removed by friend.
2)Adaware attack hot bar. removed with guidance from here.
3)Multiple chkdsk checks start. fist only C then D now they both come up together sometimes.
4)help please.
I think there may be a misleading file in my pic because i hadn't gone through them since before the virus. then my computer starting freezing and doing disk checks. for a few days they would happen everytime i started my computer.
I was advised to go to my hard drive man. site and do a drive test. it failed and said to download something else but i was uneasy with some of the stuff it would do so i haven't done it yet.
I just found several downloads of a self extractor module. Probably form my husband downloading music (against my wishes) and not knowing what he was doing.
I am currently looking to see if I can find anything that looks out of the ordinary to my non comp tech eyes.
I am not sure I that GMER is doing what it is suppose to. I ran scans but it only covers services, registries, files, and ADS.
I am trying to find the disk check log but have yet to find it. It just ran one on D and removed and fixed a bunch of files.

Earlier today I logged on and was going to go through all media and files and back them up on a flash drive....then my computer froze. I looked at the bottom of the screen and saw norton was doing a background backup itself. So I thought maybe it's just slow cause of that. Waited thirty min and pulled the plug. Then when it went to restart it wouldn't. So I decided to leave it alone and I would get back to it later. Well I came back and it did a start up repair thing.
I am typing the log that I copied by hand in case I couldn't get to it.

I have tried backing up in regular mode twice now and the backup froze both times in the exact same spot. It also wouldn't shut down normally either and would do a chkdsk when restarted.
