**** End of log ****

Not too worried about backing up my laptop, it's not my main computer. My backup attempts failed due to cyclick redundancy errors. If the harddrive is failing, that would explain a bunch. I didn't see the results of chkdsk /f, went to bed after starting it. But it didn't say anything to me. Is that good? After One of the first scans, the computer has been acting better, booting up faster, taking a lot less time to open programs. If the HDD is failing I'll just need to save my pennies to get a new one. I do appreciate y'all's help.
Thank you, Robert.
 
Hello dsmryder :),

Yes, everything is pointing to hard disk failure. Quite unfortunate things have to end this way.

To finish up, lets clear off the tools that were used and I will list some recommendations below for your new drive or laptop.

  • Go to Start > Run.... Copy and paste the following text into the white box:
    ComboFix /uninstall
    Click OK.
  • Run OTL by double clicking on OTL.exe. Click on CleanUp, proceed to reboot if prompted.
  • Delete the MiniToolBox and aswMBR files on your desktop.
  • Delete any logs on the desktop.

Some tips to help you stay clean and safe for the new set up:

1. Keep your Windows up to date. Enable Automatic Updates for Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 to always update the latest security patches from Microsoft, or you can download from the Microsoft website. Otherwise, your computer will be vulnerable to new exploits or malwares.

2. Update your Antivirus program regularly, it is a must for constant protection against viruses. If you do not have one, Microsoft Security Essentials and Avast are some great and free antivirus programs that you can try. For paid versions, Avast, ESET NOD32 and Kaspersky are some good options. Please keep only one AV installed.

3. Install Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware if you haven't and use it occasionally. It is a new and powerful anti-malware tool, totally free but for real-time protection you will have to pay a small one-time fee.

4. Install WinPatrol, a great protection program that helps you monitor for unwanted files or applications.

5. Use a hosts file to block the access of bad sites from your computer. Get yourself a MVPS Hosts for this purpose.

6. Install Web of Trust (WOT). WOT keeps you from dangerous websites with warnings and blockings.

7. Protect your computer from removable or USB drive infections with MCShield, an effective method to prevent malware from spreading.

8. Keep all your softwares updated. Visit Secunia Software Inspector to find out if any updates required.
