Constantly going into 'overdrive'

[Malnutrition]

Alright, go ahead with the instructions in post #28.

Does defrag take long?

This is the fastest defrag program out there.

Only it’s moseying on towards 3am here and I’m wilting!

You can finish when you like. No need to continue tonight.

[bernie_lamb]

I’m really grateful for your help with this. Just for info, over 9000 files to be 'unfragmented. At the present rate about another hour, I reckon. I really need to sleep! I’m OLD!:love:

[Malnutrition]

I really need to sleep! I’m OLD!

I will be here tomorrow…Have a good night.

[bernie_lamb]

I’m just going to leave it running. Should I switch Avira and MalwareBytes back on ON?

I’ll be back tomorrow (or later today as it is now!)

[Malnutrition]

Once the defrag program is finished Analyzing, then click the defrag now button.

Should I switch Avira and MalwareBytes back on ON?

Sure, or wait until morning when you are done with the defrag. Either way is fine, just reboot after the defrag is complete.

Before I forget (in case it’s significant), when I rebooted after defrag, there was a little delay as a ‘Hidden Window’ was closed.

You speak French, too!!!:love:

Good morning!

Thanks for letting me know, just move onto the Autologger scan. Then set Ccleaner to run at each system boot, this way you do not need to worry about cleaning your temp files. From the TFC.exe log it seems that there was 17 gigs of temp files removed from your machine, this is a large amount – more than normal.

Note: This tool will clean your browsing history as well.

Clean up temp files and reduce startup load with CCleaner.

Just had a flash from Avira!

This is a false positive, it is the file I had you use. The one with the french output. You can delete that file now, no problem.
