RED X's & EXCLAMATION POINTS (IN YELLOW TRIANGLES) IN EVENT VIEWER

[Guest]

Hello,

When I go to Event Viewer--->System, I find quite a few red x's and a
smaller amount of exclamation points in yellow triangles. There are 2,841
events logged.

They basically concern Apple iTunes installation and nVidia Display issues.
What do I do with these? When I double-click on many of them, I get results
per above re iTunes and nVidia. My iTunes installation seemed way too slow
finishing and now can't access the online store. My nVidia display seems to
be working just fine. The only other glitch I'm noticing is my inability to
install Panda Software's free online virus checker, which I've found in the
past to be excellent. When I'm asked to "click here" to activate an Active X
control and I do indeed click, I just get taken back to the same message
again and again.

I appreciate any and all help!

Thank you,

Goob

Run Disk Clean Up and Defrag in safe mode, then open the Run command and
type in:
sfc /scannow click [OK]
Note the space between sfc_/

Thank you for the insights...

I followed Nass' instructions to the letter. No malware was ever identified
either in safe mode or normal mode! I am now using AVG.

The reds n' yellows are still there!

Now what?

THANKS!

Please review for me how to run Disk Cleanup and defrag. Many times, defrag
continues to restart after 10% finished, and I know that's addressed
somewhere.
