Hi, my computer has recently been running way slower than normal, and I really need help as I can barely use it now.
I have ran MS AntiSpyware, and that turned up with nothing. I have also used Adaware. I don't think it is any malware, as I have looked in my event viewer and it comes up with:
This device, \Device\Harddisk0\D, has a bad block.
And also:
The device, \Device\Ide\IdePort1, did not respond within the timeout period.

These have been happening numerous amounts of times. I ran Scandisk to try and repair the bad blocks, but that froze up as I got to stage four.
Here is a Hijack this log, if needed.

bad blocks are not a good sign...the ide port issue also is uncomformation

typically a harddrive dying or ide controller on the fritz.

If it were me, I would replace the drive first, install windows, recover the data, then see if it repeats with this controller.
