  • Check for corrupted Windows system files The Deployment Image Service and Management Tool (DISM) is a utility in Windows that scans for corrupted Windows system files. If it finds a problem, it will try to replace the problematic system files from a cached version that’s on your PC. If DISM can’t replace the files, the System File Checker (SFC) can check the corrupted files then download and replace the files through Windows Update.
  • To run System File Checker (SFC) In the search box on the taskbar, type command prompt, press and hold (or right-click) Command Prompt, then select Run as administrator > Yes. At the command prompt, type sfc /scannow (note the space between "sfc" and the "/"). Scanning will take a few minutes.
  • For more info about System File Checker, see Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files.

Clam Sentinel - 9 views

  •  
    THIS COMBO ( the Clam - Virus scanner & Sentinel ) IS KING! Running this combo along with the Microsoft security essentials and Defender has proven through much testing on my part, a great security option. The Clam pair uses virtually no resources, updates daily or more automatically, unbeknownst to the user until a balloon pops up and says it is done! My favorite perk is the log files created in Sentinel. One can determine exactly what has transpired on a system by reviewing these logs. Every system change is recorded and time stamped, so if a issues comes up one can note the time and date then find down to the task what has happened, what files were involved which makes easy work figuring out where the offense came from! Using this combo requires some attention to the scan engine when installing programs & updates of some products. They will be quarantined unless clam-Sentinel it is set to "monitor only" or Stop the engine temporarily from quarantining the files it catches... Download links are below, the setup is painless (defaults are perfect when installing so just start the install up and hit enter "bap bap bap" until it starts the install... > >"<< Good Luck! (note: before any of the Microsoft code will install or work "Windows Genuine Advantage" needs to be in compliance!) http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/genuine http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-download (find and download Windows Defender if you don't see it after installing the essentials) http://sourceforge.net/projects/clamwin/?source=recommended http://sourceforge.net/projects/clamsentinel/?source=recommended
