IF THE TOOL IS NOT SCANNING THE SAME NUMBER OF FILES, THEN WHAT ELSE IS IT DOING WRONG???
From cmd windows says there are no errors. From the tool it says there are errors. So what should I do next?
Is the tool scanning C & R drives or just C drive? cause I ran chkdsk for C drive only from cmd prompt. Also, under my R drive all items are now in BLUE.
The Tweaking tool says somewhere that we should run several scanners to make sure there is no infection. What one tool may not catch, another one could. To ensure Repair does not fail. Is there any other scanner you want me run before proceeding?
I tried to load the Hidden BuiltIn Admin Account but it won’t even load. nothing appears on screen, except the background and a small window saying “getting personalized settings for google” , but it stays like that for ages, over 10 / 15 minutes if I leave it that long. Not even the shut/start button comes up. I had to do Ctrl+Alt+Del.
Pls get back when you can, thank you.

The blue files are compressed by windows to save space.
You will get slightly different results on each run of chkdsk as files are created and removed in between
Any improvement so far ?
Continue with the rest please
HI essexboy
sorry to say this but this is my machine, and it worries me. I asked you what to do next. you no the tool so you know it says that :
“it is better to repair manually any missing errors or something, before proceeding with repair or ELSE IT WILL FAIL”
the above message is sort of what it says, not by word. I believe it refers to chk dsk errors. so if it the tool says there are errors, you have the logs I sent you, then AGAIN , what next? do you want me to proceed with repair anyway?
if you do then you are ignoring the tools message, and as you yourself said “if we give the wrong command it can break it”
Oh, and how can there be diferent number of files when CHKDSK has been ran one straight after the other. Were files created in between 3 seconds? because that’s how long it took to run both: the tools’ chk dsk and the cmd prompt chk dsk.
pls reply
thnks 19rosh oh, ihave flushed the dns by cmd prompt, using google, to find out what to type.
NOTE sorry, is there anyway you could use avast remote assistance? so you can run the tool yourself to repair? I am not confident at all to use it.
The size difference is 12kb between the two runs, as I said files will be created and deleted. These are temporary files and will vary in size
I feel your best option to get it back up and running again would be to back up your data and then reset to factory settings
I have thought about that. But this is a Sony Vaio. It comes with a lot of bloatware I don’t want. I have copied a iso file of windows I downloaded from somewhere, I can’t remember where, it is 3.09 GB. and I have saved it on a network location. I wonder if it would boot from there. anyway. I would prefer to avoid all that. If you could run the tool yourself from REMTE Assistance?
The first question is where did you get the ISO from, if it was a torrent then forget it, it may be infected.
The best bet would be to run a factory restore, this totally wipes the drive. Then remove the software using this small programme http://www.pcdecrapifier.com/features
HI,
I have found this on my registry:

This Link
http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN3587 is from GeekstoGo RKinner to someone else. the link talks about
•Gootkit is also referred to ask “XSW” or “XSWKit”, So I typed on Find option : XSW , on my registry and found the above entry. Is this a infection? How to I remove it?
Pls advise. I want to run that tool- Windows all in one, but the tool says if there is INFECTION it will fail. So I downloaded Malawarebytes and ran a scan, it was clean. But this appears to be a rootkit infection.
Plz advice. Thank you.

Hi
Sorry but the total number of files the tool has not scanned is not 12 Kb as you said. Is
73761612 total no. By tweaking tool
- 73232624 total no. By cmd prompt. In kb.
528988 kb
I had highlighted in green. Now my worry is that I ran step 3 where I ran repair for reparse points and repair of environmental variables. If the tool didn’t scan these Files, it ran repair based on info. Inaccurate.
How do I revert the step 3.
I would suggest you take it to a repair shop as nothing I will do or say could convince you that it will not blow the system up
you have ignored several of my questions, like:
- CHK DSK from Windows all in one is reading 500.00 KB less then CHK DSK from command prompt, shell I still proceed?
- Windows all in one says we should make sure there is no infection, otherwise it will fail. Do you want me to run any other tool before proceeding?
- is the above LINK a VIRUS? I had found on my registry
- remote assistance?
These are some of the questions you ignored. NOW that the WONDER tool from “TWEAKING” has REPAIRED missing parse points, that the tool itself missed, and has run Repair for environmental variables. And I am stuck at step 4 of the Tool, you are telling me to take it to a repair. This is a Repair Forum. And you are dealing with it. This WONDER TOOL you gave me,
HAS MISSED 500.000 KB OF FILES AND RAN A REPAIR BASED ON THE INFORMATION IT GATHERED. NOW I WANT TO REVERT THE STEP 3 WHERE IT ACTUALLY DID SOME CHANGES TO THE MACHINE. which could have been different had it SCANNED ALL THE FILES. I HAD NOT YET REACHED THE POINT OF BACKING UP REGISTRY, NOR DID I DO ANY BACK UP. HOW CAN A 500.000 KB DIFFERENCE NOT MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?
If you want to leave me stuck with this tool half way, fine. Ok
Have a good day, and may God bless you. 19rosh
There is not a problem as I have said small files are being created/deleted all the time
There is no virus that I can see on your system.
The reason I stopped is because you are stating that the tool is rubbish, I disagree but the choice is yours. At the moment the tool has done nothing bar back up the registry and run chkdsk
@19rosh. Please listen to what essexboy is trying to tell you and follow his instructions carefully - he is probably the best, most experienced person on the internet to be helping you and you are lucky to have assistance from someone like him. There is no need to be rude. Don’t panic - just listen. If you do that, your computer problem will be resolved.
Crapazila & ESSEXBOY
I am always, very careful not to be rude to anyone. Even when people may get rude or unfair. And I don’t think I have been rude to essexboy. I am very upset with this WONDER TOOL WINDOWS ALL IN ONE, because even each screen you pass, is scary to look at.
YOU TRY AND GO AHEAD AND INSTALL IT, AND RUN FIRST 3 STEPS. UP TO WHICH THE TOOL ONLY RUNS PRE SCAN,SFC AND CHK DSK. THEN ON 3RD STEP AFTER THE SCAN DON’T FOLLOW THE TOOL’S ADVICE AND REPAIR ANYTHING. BUT YOU WILL SEE HOW THE TOOL HIGHLIGHTS IN RED THAT EVERYTHING THING YOU DO IS VERY IMPORTANT AND POSSIBLY DAMAGING TO YOUR COMPUTER.
HALF OF EACH SCREEN OF THIS TOOL IS ABOUT WARNINGS IN RED. THEN IT SAYS SOMETHING LIKE “IT HASN’T BEEN TESTED IN SOME VERSIONS, BUT STILL YOU MUST USE IT WITH VERY CAUTION, IT MAY BECOME UNBOOTABLE”
NOW , IF YOU HAVE LITLE KNOWLEDGE, AND CAN’T AFFORD ANY OTHER OPTION TO REPAIR, THEN YOU ARE LIKE ME AND 1000’S OF OTHERS WHO ARE STUCK WITH THESE TEACHERS, WHO SIMPLY SAY “OH NO GARANTEES IT WILL WORK”
I HAVE BEEN EXPRESSING DIFFICULTIES AND GREAT DISCONFORT IN USING THIS TOOL BY MYSELF, AND HAVE REQUESTED REMOTE ASSISTANCE THROUGH THIS FORUM BECAUSE AVAST HAS THIS OPTION AVAILABLE. BUT I HAVEN’T GOT A REPLY.
WHAT ESSESBOY IS TRYING TO DO, IS ATTEMPTING TO RESET SOME SETTINGS TO SEE IF THAT WILL SOLVE THE MATTER.
[b][b]NOW:
TO THE TEACHER - WITH ALL DO RESPECT SIR, AND I AM NOT BEING CYNICAL, EVEN THOUGH I AM WRITTING IN CAPITALS, IS NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN AS RUDE OR SHOUTING. SHOULD YOU FIRST NOT ASSESS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS? AND THEN APPLY THE RIGHT SOLUTION WHICH YOU KNOW IT WILL WORK BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS?!
OR YOU JUST GO AROUND TRYING TOOLS AND STEPS JUST LIKE THAT, AND SAY “NO GARANTEES” ? BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT ASSESSED THE MACHINE FULLY AND FOUND OUT THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM.BECAUSE IF YOU KNEW WHAT YOU ARE DOING YOU WOULD RUNS SOME TESTS AND SAY : THIS IS THE PROBLEM, AND THIS IS THE SOLUTION. AND THESE ARE THE ALTERNATIVES, IF THERE ARE ANY?!
AFTER SO MANY LOGS I HAVE SENT YOU, I HAVE TO ASK, AS I HAVE ASKED BEFORE,
WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN IN THE LOGS? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS POOR MACHINE? WHICH WANTS TO WORK, HAS BEEN ASKING FOR SOME MEDICATION, AND THE DOCTOR ONLY SAYS: TRY THIS , NO GARANTEES. I AM TRYING TO RESET THIS AND THIS SETTINGS, AND SEE IF IT WILL WORK.
IS THE DOCTOR NOT MEANT TO RUN TESTS AFTER TESTS UNTIL HE KNOWS WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? OR YOU FIND OUT 2 SYMPTOMS, AND YOU GIVE “PARACETAMOL” AND SEND THEM HOME?!
SONY VAIO NW26M IS STILL YOUNG, AND HAS BEEN FIGHTING TO LIVE FOR A WEEK, BUT NO ONE CARES ABOUT HER. THE EXPERTS CANNOT EVEN LOOK AT HER, WITHOUT HAVING LOOKED AT HER TO PROPERLY ASSESS HER, THEY KEEP TELLING HER TO TAKE “WALL1” AND SAY, THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO FOR HER.
THE OWNER OF SONY VAIO NW26M, HAS LITLE KNOWLEDGE AND DOES NOT KNOW IF “WALL1” WILL WORK. BUT YET, KNOWS THAT “WALL1” HAS SOME DEFECT IN THEIR COMPOSITION, BUT NO ONE ELSE CARES.
SHE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. AND HAS BEEN ASLEEP OVER 1 AND HALF YEAR. WHAT WILL HAPEN TO HER???
THE DEDICATED AND LOVING MOTHER OF SONY VAIO

Having posting problems on the forum will reply when I get back to my windows 8 system
Ok as I laboriously typed before the forum ate my answer
The no guarantees part refers to the fact that I may not be able to get the system back to normal, nothing else… I will not promise what may not be deliverable
I have run all the fixes in WAIO on the following systems of mine XP, 7, 8.1, 10Tp and did not break any of them hence my confidence in the tool
The warnings are in red to ensure that you stop and think and do not go blindly charging in
Your main problem is that permissions are messed up and not at default
When you re-installed you did not do it cleanly but saved the old data hence multiple duplicate folders
Then when you took ownership you increased the errors within the system permissions

hi essexboy,
Thank you for replying.
When I re-installed it was a year ago and that was a F8 fact restore. All was fine. Even though I switched off the win updates, for 10 months.
I started having these doubled folders the minute I followed the advice of ASKEY127 from tech support guy. Who came telling me that it there was a previous win ULTIMATE on my system, cause the first FRST and the MGA report were showing that. BUT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN ULTIMATE ON THIS MACHINE. ONLY HOME PREMIUM. IT WAS AFTER I FOLLOWED HIS ADVICE THAT THESE PRBLEMS CAME UP.

iT WAS BECAUSE OF HIS BRILIANT ADVICE THAT I HAVE THIS PROBLEMS.
I had to re edit and use the INSERT BUTTON FROM MY IPHONE TO ADD THE URL CAUSE I GOT BLOCKED OUT FROM AVAST WEBSITE FROM MY LAPTOP. I think it may have been cause I just copied and paste the link. Hope now I can log on avast on my laptop

WISE REG CLEANER - FOUND OVER 1000 ERRORS, I FIX IT.I will need to read the full thread, I know both Cookiegal and askey. They do know what they are doing
Hi
just to keep you updated:
I have uninstalled from registry HKRoot - a folder named .xsc which is the remnant left by Transcribe.exe.
Also, I uninstalled the Java after reading your advice here Re: Meus Logs - - -HEEEEELPPP.
And installed JavaRa.
And, uninstalled the wonder tool from my desktop, because I couldn’t sleep. I have my “baby” sleeping next to me, in front of me. I felt it was hurting her, like a worm does.
Thanks
