| HJT Log: Program Files, SLLLOOOWW
I did a post yesterday outlining my problems here: »www2.broadbandreports.com/forum/···ode=flat. However, now you can take those times and double them. Interestingly, I found out that C:\Program Files, although visible, it is not recognized as having anything in it, except when I use TDS-3 (which I will talk about later). It still does the "The disk in drive C: is not formatted" thing.
I followed the link to I think my computer is infected or hijacked. What should I do? and followed the instructions there. I ran Spybot with few results. Next, I downloaded TDS-3 and updated it. Upon running, it found approximately 100 (my best guess) trojan traces. So, following the instructions, I deleted each and every one of them. I rebooted. Unfortunately, it still took about 7 minutes for a reboot. Then, I ran it again to make sure everything was gone. To my surprise, EVERYTHING I previously deleted was still there. If you want a log file from the scan, tell me how to do that and I will post it. Anyway, I decided to try TrojanHunter. After updating, I ran it with no luck. It froze just after starting the scan. Also, it didn't recognize anything (I mean anything at all) in the Program Files directory. I should also note that my HijackThis log shows Norton Antivirus, but as I said before if it is located in the Program Files directory, it will not run! This is odd now that I think about it... isn't Firefox there also???

From the earlier thread you linked as well as this one, I just think your hard drive is dying.
First, open the case and make sure that the data cable is connected securely to the hard drive and to the motherboard.
If the problem persists, back up your important data to a CD or USB drive as soon as you can.
If the drive is under warranty, try getting it replaced.
Even if you don't, I'd suggest a reformat/reinstall. Count up how much time you've wasted so far and do the math.

I think you are right. Although the trojans found by TDS-3 are VERY suspicious, I think that my hard drive may be going bad. I found this out by running a program by Maxtor named PowerMax. It told me that my hard drive is, in deed, failing. Thankfully, I built this computer only a month ago, and the HDD has a 3 year warranty. I am going to send it back and start from scratch after I back up everything. Thanks!
