Anyone's computer slow since update?

[Italia366]

The Eset scanner says

another antivirus was detected. this may affect the quality and performance of the scan, so i didnt run it

However, i ran the norton online scanner (Norton Power Cleaner) and it flagged Autochk.exe as bad, but was unable to fix it.

my computer hasnt been running slow, but sfc says there still are corrupted files.

How should i proceed? Do you want the log from the norton power cleaner?

See this about autochk.exe Manually resetting AUTOCHK.EXE for a drive (don't bother to join!)

and this ... autochk.exe | ThreatExpert statistics
Do you have the path to autochk.exe that was removed by Norton?

What do u mean by path?

 

[Jacee]

I mean the file location, such as ProgramFiles, temp, system32, etc...

This is what norton power eraser said

Detected: Autochk.exe
Type: Startup Item
Local Scan: Bad
Remote Scan: Not a known threat
Location: C:/Windows/System32/autochk.exe

Kind of a contradiction
Local Scan: Bad
Remote Scan: Not a known threat
Location: C:/Windows/System32/autochk.exe

Navigate to that file on your computer, upload, and have it scanned by jotti Jotti's malware scan

Well, that's good. It's possible that it could be corrupted.

[Jacee]

Run the online Eset Scanner, and ignore what Norton says.

Well we already found out that Autochk is ok (by ok i mean not a virus) through that other thing. Would eset fix the corruption?

 

[Jacee]

I'm out of ideas

I'm out of ideas

well someone earlier said that they could help me replace the corrupted autochk.exe once we proved it wasnt a virus, which we did. lol where did that guy go?
