A program called Hitman Pro can cause the problem.
A really old version of ZoneAlarm (a version from 2004) can cause the
problem.
BitDefender Internet Security 9 can cause the problem.
Spyware Doctor can also cause the problem.
The /x switch doesn't work if Spyware Doctor is installed. Spyware Doctor
needs to be uninstalled or you can do this...
Quoted from *PCTools*, *Spyware* *Doctor*...
1. Exit from Spyware Doctor (to exit from Spyware
Doctor please right click on the Spyware Doctor icon in
the notification area (next to the clock on the Windows
taskbar) and select Exit from the menu that appears)
2. Delete the file
ikhlayer.sys from %windir%\system32\drivers\
or
from c:\windows\system32\drivers\
3. Restart Spyware Doctor
Chkdsk, defrag and error-checking should now work.
