Please make sure any critical documents are backed up. It appears your hard disk may be going bad. We'll check that after the scan.

Looks OK. How's your machine running now? Let's also do the following.
 
SFC Scan
1. Right-click on the Start button and select Command Prompt (Admin)
2. When command prompt opens, Copy (Ctrl+C) and Paste (Right-click > Paste) the following command into it, then press Enter
sfc /scannow

3. Once it finishes, copy and paste the following into the command-prompt window and press Enter.
copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log "%userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt"

4. Once this has completed please go to your Desktop and you will find CBS.txt => Right-click on this file and choose Send To...Compressed (zipped folder). Please upload this zipped file CBS.zip to this thread

Please Note:: if the file is too big to upload to your next post please upload via a service such as Dropbox or One Drive or SendSpace and just provide the link.

ok im doing that, i did hit dont remind me again on the hard drive pop up cuz it was annoying. how about those virous threats from eset that were there should they be gone?? 

[BrianDrab]

They are all either quarantined already (and will be removed in a later step) or were in non-active parts of the system (i.e. Windows.old).

[Chef April]

Looks good. How is your machine doing now?

[Chef April]

a lot better, especially after the windows 10 switch over as it gave me back the drivers from the uploaders, downloaders, and installers. 

i am a lil wooried about the drive, and hopefully the return of that mean ol nasty bugs it had. lol

[BrianDrab]

OK good. The adware/malware has been removed from the system. Let's do another check on your disk and then tidy up.

 

GSmartControl
Follow the instructions below to test your hard drive health with GSmartControl:

 

• Download GSmartControl and save it on your Desktop;
• Extract the content of the GSmartControl .zip archive and execute gsmartcontrol.exe;
• Identify your drive in the list, and double-click on it to bring up it's window (usually you'll find your drive by it's size or it's brand name);
• Go in the Perform Tests tab, then select Extended Self-test in the Test type drop-down list and click on Execute (this test can take a few hours to complete);
• Once the test is over, the results will be displayed at the bottom of the window. Please copy and paste these results in your next reply;
• Also, go in the Attributes tab and if you have any entries highlighted in red or pink, copy and paste their name in your next reply (or take a screenshot of the GSmartControl window and attach it in your next reply);
