    Default There are damaged clusters on my hard drive.

    Hi Juliet
    My mate had the computer overnight and reports that there are damaged clusters on my hard drive and that is causing the system to try to backup.
    Mystery is why chkdsk did not report that.
    In view of the computer's age I intend to get a new one.
    Thanks once again.
    Regards
    Peter

    I feel bad I wasn't able to identify the problem early on.

    I think that if it had been malware/viral related we could had solved it.

    Let's remove tools and quarantine folders.

    DelFix
    • Please download DelFix or from Here and save the file to your Desktop.
    • Double-click DelFix.exe to run the programme.
    • Place a checkmark next to the following items:
    • Activate UAC
    • Remove disinfection tools
    • Click the Run button.
    • -- This will remove the specialised tools we used to disinfect your system. Any leftover logs, files, folders or tools remaining on your Desktop which were not removed can be deleted manually (right-click the file + delete).
