    Glad that the disk seems clean now. Must have just had some bad sectors that accumulated through normal use. The stage 5 of 5 difference just means you have less free clusters available, so you probably added some data to other clusters that used to be free. Nothing to worry about. Keep doing your normal routine for a few days and post back stability. Best of luck!

    That is good news. Run normally for a while (a week or two) and see if it stays stable. Post back if you need any further troubleshooting. Best of luck it stays stable.

    is it possible that Malwarebytes and microsoft security essentials was making the pc lag and freeze here & there
    since reinstalling avast and uninstalling those im thinking i'm getting no problems

    Did you have both security systems running at the same time? We recommend running MSE as the real-time protection and Malwarebytes as a standalone scanner (not using the free trial). If you were running both, it definitely could have slowed your system down. Two security systems that accomplish the same task running at the same time are known to cause conflicts.

    thought i had Malwarebytes real time disable but maybe it didn't work for some odd reason
    but since removing both of them and going back to avast free its been running good
    ill post back if any error R changes happen

    Alright. The important thing is your system is now working. Best of luck!
