Hi

Chkdks runs on startup on my son's PC. I have searched this forum and
cannot find anything relevant to this problem. I have scanned with NIS2007
and TrendMicro Housecall (online scan) and found no problems.

What other reasons might chkdsk run that I could investigate?

Hi

This was one of the avenues I explored from a search of this forum and it is
not relevant to his problem.

Any other suggestions?
 
Try resetting chkdsk by entering this string in a command window.

1. Open the run box and enter: cmd
2. Type: CHKNTFS /D
3. Restart to test.

Thanks for the additional info. The problem seemed to be adware which was
picked up using TrendMicro online scanning service (missed by Norton NIS
2007).

Getting rid of the offending item seems to have cured the problem.
