Today I powered on a PC I was NOT using for about 10 months (with some IMPORTANT data).

​After I logged my default administrator user:

1. My AV was not loading and something was strange. NO FREE SPACE on NON of my HDs.

So I deleted some BIG DATA and now I had a few GBs free on any of them. RESTARTED. 

 

 

2. NOW the big PROBLEM arrived:

The Avast! antivirus is still NOT loading.... AND:
I CAN NOT RUN BIG PART OF the EXE files (includes explorer.exe, msconfig.exe, regedit.exe, mbam.exe [Malwarebytes] )

 

Every time I try to open a file I get:

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

 

Most of the important options on Windows (for example "Add or remove user accounts") are NOT working, although I'm logged on the administrator. 

 

 

I did some Google, I saw some suggestions, I tried:

TDSSKiller.exe , FixTDSS.exe , HitmanPro_x64.exe , msert.exe  [Microsoft Safety Scanner]

Could NOT run any of them. All give me the same problem ( "Windows cannot access the specified....." )

 

 

I tried the "trick" to rename to "iexplore.exe" - NOT working.

 

Although, the REAL Internet Explorer is working, also Windows Media Player and a few other useless applications. 
Avast is not loading as I said but it is showed at the Windows Task Manager - Processes - as loaded ( "AvastUI.exe *32 )

 

 

F8 on startup isn't doing nothing so I can not run SAFE MODE and I couldn't "force" to load safe mode as msconfig.exe is not working.

 

My machine is - 

Windows 7 Pro, SP 1, 64,  Legal Copy ("activated"), with "AVAST! Free Antivirus" installed.

1. Double-click My Computer, and then right-click the hard disk that you want to check. C:
2. Click Properties, and then click Tools.
3. Under Error-checking, click Check Now. A dialog box that shows the Check disk options is displayed,
4. Check both boxes and then click Start.
You will receive the following message:
The disk check could not be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk. These files can be accessed by restarting Windows. Do you want to schedule the disk check to occur the next time you restart the computer?
Click Yes to schedule the disk check, but don't restart yet.
 
Right click on (My) Computer and select Manage (Continue) Then the Event Viewer. Next select Windows Logs.  Right click on System and Clear Log, Clear. Repeat for Application. Reboot. The disk check will run and will probably take an hour or more to finish.
 
 
Start, All Programs, Accessories then right click on Command Prompt and Run as Administrator.  Then type (with an Enter after each line).
 
sfc /scannow
 
(SPACE after sfc.  This will check your critical system files. Does this finish without complaint?  IF it says it couldn't fix everything then:
 
Copy the next two lines:
 
findstr  /c:"[SR]"  \windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log  >  \windows\logs\cbs\junk.txt 
notepad \windows\logs\cbs\junk.txt 
 
Start, All Programs, Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and Run as Administrator, Continue.  Right click and Paste or Edit then Paste and the copied line should appear.
Hit Enter if notepad does not open.  Copy and paste the text from notepad into a reply.  Close nOtepad.  Close the Command Window.
 
 
1. Please download the Event Viewer Tool by Vino Rosso
and save it to your Desktop:
2. Right-click VEW.exe and Run AS Administrator
3. Under 'Select log to query', select:
 
* System
4. Under 'Select type to list', select:
* Error
* Warning
 
 
Then use the 'Number of events' as follows:
 
 
1. Click the radio button for 'Number of events'
Type 20 in the 1 to 20 box
Then click the Run button.
Notepad will open with the output log.
 
 
Please post the Output log in your next reply then repeat but select Application.

Thanks R.

 

Check Now is not loading.

 

"Manage" also not  ("Explorer.EXE - Windows cannot...")

 

 


All give me the same error as before:

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

 

 

I could still load IE, Firefox, Chrome, Media Player, VLC, Office, and basic apps like that though.

 

 

Also, on C: Harddrive  I had 3GB free yesterday, now I got 700mb free, somehow this malware is filling my HD with Unknown sh*t.

I managed to run Farbar Recovery Scan Tool from the Advanced Boot Options (before Windows loading) & Command Prompt

[I could probably run more tools that way]

 

Here is the log:

The current controlset is ControlSet001
ATTENTION!:=====> If the system is bootable FRST must be run from normal or Safe mode to create a complete log.

Does 

 

chkdsk /f 

 

or 

 

chkdsk /r

 

work in the Advanced Recovery Option Command Prompt?

 

 

 

How big is the drive?  Who makes it?  Part number?  (You should be able to get the part number from BIOS/CMOS setup 

 

Did you create the E: drive?  Do the sizes of each partition seem normal?

 

Disk: 0 (MBR Code: Windows 7 or 8) (Size: 465.8 GB) (Disk ID: E46E09D5)
Partition 1: (Active) - (Size=100 MB) - (Type=07 NTFS)
Partition 2: (Not Active) - (Size=97.6 GB) - (Type=07 NTFS)
Partition 3: (Not Active) - (Size=368.1 GB) - (Type=07 NTFS)

 

Drive c: () (Fixed) (Total:97.56 GB) (Free:0.47 GB) NTFS

Drive e: (New Volume) (Fixed) (Total:368.1 GB) (Free:12.72 GB) NTFS

 

 

 

IF you right click on a file that won't start and select Properties then Security then click on your login name does it says you should have Full Control?

I created the E drive a while ago.

 

Partitions size seems fine.

Can't do chkdsk /f or chkdsk /r, it saying:

X:\windows\system32>chkdsk /f
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.
Windows cannot run disk checking on this volume because it is write protected.

Try 

chkdsk C: /f 

If you don't tell it the drive then it tries to do the one you are on.
