Every day when I turn on my computer here at work I get this (on a blue screen):

Checking file systems on C.
The type of the file system is NTFS.
One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You may cancel the disk check but it is strongly recommended that you continue.

If I don't cancel, it continues with this:

CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)
File verification complete
CHKDSK is verifying indexes (stage 2 of 3)

at this point, the first time it happened, this file was completed and it went on to verifying security (I think that's what it was).
But now it gets hung up on this second stage
and I get

correcting error in index $SDH for file 9
and this repeats over and over and finally just stops and nothing more happens.

The only way out is to turn the computer off and back on; and when given the opportunity to skip the checking, hit any key to skip.

So, any ideas about what I need/should do?
Our computer guy here doesn't want to deal with it. He'll probably just wait till the whole thing crashes and have to get a new computer - or whatever.

damn, you're good!
~~bows to the master linker~~~
Thanks! now to see if I can figure it out.

One BSOD message is one too many. Here are mine, brought to me by a virus or something:

BAD_POOL_CALLER

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR EQUAL

Trying everything I can. Computer acting very strange! Macafee is disabled, can't fix itself, windows security disabled, cannot click it back on. Yet malwarebytes says I'm aok. It never let me down before!

And I can't install a debugger either. Something is very, very wrong.

Does anyone have another ace up their sleeve? Really hope I won't have to wipe it all out and start over again

*sniffle*
Thanks.

Might have something helpful, I hope.

Thanks for the links!

After the zillionth scan I discover I am infected with Sinowal, a very sneaky and difficult trojan to get rid of. Not quite sure what to do now, but at least I know what it is. It's just a matter of finding the right way to clean it up.

Crappity crap.

Keep your viruses to yourself. I'm already sick.

Have you tried Malware Bytes to get rid of it? Good luck, moonie.

You owe me a Coke or you can't speak for a day.

Bwah! Hah! Hah! Me? Not speak for a day? Surely you're kidding! And stop calling me Shirley!

You probably heard about Malware Bytes from me. I know I posted about it around here a couple of times. Let's give credit where credit is due. I'm not usually the smart one around here!
