Solved Sfc /scannow could not fix all corrupted files Cbs log too big

[Leschot]

Hello People, My laptop is a Samsung S9, Intel Core i5-3317U 1.70 Hz, W7 /64 home premium, 4M ram.

I am sure my problem has something to do with MS pushing W10. Since half 2015 my laptop was slower but I did not care much. Supposed it was an W update that would be corrected later. Then realized the kind of push to the new version and deactivated the automatic update. Anyway did not have the time to go thro this until now when I lost the patience. Or fix, or go to W10. I prefer to fix w7 and am engaged on it.

I've red a lot on on this great place and just deleted updates KB3022345 and KB3068708. Immediately this unclogged my laptop, so I am truly happy now... but, a new sft /scannow is still finding corrupted files that could not fix. As threads about are very specific, I would truly appreciate your time and expertise to check the attached cbs log , which don’t know why is so huge, 2.4 mb in rar file.

Thanks a lot ..

Hi Les,
please Sfc another couple of times, then run
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821
and post the output.

There are very few viewer progs that can handle that much data, mine cant,
Can you look only at the 3rd log and copy only the data for the last run date. (zip please NOT rar)

Finally...

Hi Roy, It took a while to download the KB947821.

I ran a couple of times the Sfc before applying the KB947821. Reboot and KB947821. Then reboot and another Sfc. Cbs is much small now and includes the one before and the one after. Also found in the CBS folder a checkSUR log that am attaching.

Sorrowfully, the last sfc still could not fix some files.

What would you recommend ?

Thanks again..

Hi Les,
Have you created a new user profile.
The error coming back is an access denied on the current user.
there are usually 3 shown on a basic setup >> Admin> user> guest

Thanks Roy,
I really cannot find here other user than "Dewinko" that is the single one that appears when I log into windows. Also checked the Users accounts at the control panel and there is only one user active, the administrator. What I found a lot are Generic Credentials the most created recently in the last two days, but this seems normal (?).
What would you recommend to normalize the problem ?
What could be that missed file autochk.exe at the CheckSur log? I have searched for the file and found it at windows>system 32 folder..
Appreciate your advice once you have the time dear Gurú, pls no rush.

PD.- About Autochk.exe, is important to tell you, that my A/V Nod32 found a potential unsafe app, wine32/computrace.A in this file, and thought it was the reason for the slow performance, so I ran Nod32 for a strict clean and surely deleted it and windows have created a new one (?).

Hi Les,
You need that file back, its You.
go to your AV quartiene folder and restore it
Your AV must have been slightly over zealous, and i suspect its a false/positive.
Those generic entries, thats windows trying to keep the system working.

once restored upload it to the Eset false/positive department for checking.
Are you running a dual set up with Ubuntu/linux??, thats only place i know of that "wine" is used.

Thanks Roy. Great idea. I found the file at Quarantine as you said. But will take a while to have the time to focus on doing well. Pls await for me bcos the automatic restore did not work. meanwhile pls look others files that were also deleted at that deep clean I did...

Hi Les,
restore the top and bottom computrace Autocheck files, ALL the rest leave in quarentiene.
(on your comp its included in the original set-up by Samsung)

FYI
java was removed because there out of date.
the toolbars are considered foistware, something you dont need, and promote certain sites over others
downloaders are not required thier allready on your comp
Torrent is what it is

Hello Roy, hope you had a great weekend. Sorry for the late of this...

Responding to your question i #7 "Are you running a dual set up with Ubuntu/linux??, thats only place i know of that "wine" is used." ... I am not sure if did I fully understand this question.... If you mean the app that could use that "computrace.A", I think it could be a samsung suggested app called Absolute/LoJack, that would allow to track your computer in case of a loss. (Looking for samsung updates found the app and installed. Soon I realized that was not really necessary and uninstalled). Surely left the computrace.A

It took me a time to restore the files from nod32 quarantine. Had to restore in a desk folder and after increasing my user privileges, I was able to copy to the original windows place. Later, after a reboot, I ran again the KB947821, which is OK now. Then another reboot and did 4-5 times sfc/scannow, trying to reduce the CBS size. Finally had to edit and leave the last one, which am here attaching to you.

Still some errors not corrected. Also seems there is a mismatch on the restored autochk.exe files.

Roy, do you have any other idea I could apply ? My Laptop seems working well, unclogged, am happy already. Do you think I could safely live with those still corrupted files ?

Appreciate and thanks very much all this assistance.

Those Autochk >>INFO<< lines hash mismatches are comments. If it was an actual error it would show as error as opposed to info.
Because of what we have done they are to be expected, and safe to ignore.

If everything else is running fine, thats coool
I dont expect any further problems, but were always here.

one last comment thou
running deep scans and then deleting items is a good way to kill any system, especially if your a standard user.
Even thou ive been playing with those type of programs, i NEVER touch anything in the system32 folder

Thanks a lot Roy. All seems working great. Yes, I agree, I guess I was too tired of my slow system and did that nod32 xtreme kill. Never again.
In resume what was slowing my system was the two W10 updates. Is a pity Microsoft push to force its new OS, I even think it is unfair, since I paid for my W7. I cannot believe it is just a mistake. Soon or later I will discover it. I have been very reluctant to new versions.
Just deleting pushed updates KB3022345 and KB3068708, my system was fast again.
Thanks again for all your help.
