^^ My sister's computer has that problem. I ran that scan, checked the SFC.txt logs, and it lists a slew of files that "can't be repaired."
I think it's fallout from this: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1394390
^^
That's never been resolved.
Best guess on that problem: Her network adapter is simply too fickle and that windows never updated itself properly after a point because too much data packet loss. I've been told that Windows Update simply won't take or bother if that data packet loss is doing poorly.
Interestingly enough, none of those files shows up in a search on either the machine itself or the Windows Vista disc.
As best determined, her computer has not been hijacked and there's no malware or viruses.
I'm betting I'm looking at a format no matter what unless someone here has a surprise for me.
Heck, she wants to move on to Windows 7 anyways but before we do that I think I know I'm going to have to improve her Internet situation otherwise I think this could just happen again.
All of this goes hand in glove with this: http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1035297173&postcount=1
