Computer shuts on and off some corrupted files - no virues now

Listed below are some of the errors I found on event log in the laptop:
I have a Qosimo 8 megs of memory, windows 7 64 bit. Running AVAST 7.0 antivirus and Malwarebytes - both paid subscriptions. I think the model number is 830 530 I bought in 2009.
The shutdown problem has
been happening on and off for the last six months. I had two major instances of trojans taking over my machine and it caused constant shutdowns. AVAST worked with me on one and they had me use malwarebytes and spybot and hijack this. They took over my computer to get it up and running properly, but this new round of errors a trojan was found in the registry key and the startuptoolbar. Two nights ago I had another shut down several times and after running malwarebytes and antivirus I could find no errors so I’m leaning toward corrupted files? Is there anyway to fix these files without having to reformat the hard drive?
I did run a computer repair and a computer memory repair tonight using F8 and no problems were found by the computer. I’m not sure what to do with these errors in event viewer.. I get the toshiba error
quite often and it madely stops me from going online with my internet connection, and I had downloaded a newer version but same problem – I use windows repair in network and the error is always resetting the toshiba network IP. I just put a note into toshiba on that problem.
I also use microsoft silverlight for my fenderfuse application which needs that software operate properly. I’m not sure exactly what to do with that Custom dynamic link libraries are being loaded for every application. It states to check libraries – but what am I checking for? I do not have a lot of programs on the laptop but not sure what to look for in library?

Sometimes my computer shuts down often on its own and I find a Trojan - other times it shuts down often during a start up and I find no viruses as was the case yesterday.  Today I did not get on the internet and the computer worked fine.  
 I guess I need to know if there is a way to reinstall the corrupted files without having to go back to the default settings when I got the computer.  Does toshiba have a windows repair disc that works better then what I did with using F8 and having a system repair and memory check done that found no errors?  I also installed the latest Toshiba service station and it did not fix the error problems in events log.  When I did a restore it was before this was added so now my computer is working properly with windows on connecting to the internet wireless.
Malwarebytes said that by looking at these event viewer logs that it does not appear that I have a virus now but I do have corrupted files and can toshiba help me in getting them fixed.  I really hate to do a complete reformat.
Thanks

I don't know how serious this probems are - I didn't like seeing the software security being stopped.  But then it started up.  I have copied everything personal on this laptop so I am ready to reformat if needed.  
I still have the problem about IE not opening links unless I right button click to open it.  I also had to make a separate ID to run Fender Fuse software as this computer was not recognizing the USB slot where I connect the amp to the laptop.  Fender had me set up another id with minimum items and then I was able to connect to the amp and make changes.

  • My iPad air shuts on and off on it's own?

    Hello,
    I have a iPad Air that has the latest software, everything is up to date. It was purchased in December. Past few weeks it will shut on and off on it's own. I've reset it a few times, did everything that is recommended. The black apple screen comes up as it's being powered on even if I did not hit the power button. Is there a certain reason it's doing this? What are my options to fix this?

    Hey there Hollie P.,
    It sounds like your iPad is going to slee and turning on without you pressing the buttons. I would use this process to reset the phone first, if this is not the reset you mentioned:
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If it is, and the issue is persisting, I would next backup your iPad to your computer:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    And restore it from your backup with this article and test the issue again:

  • SFC results show some corrupt files not removed/rectified

    I have checked with System File Checker - SFC and the report states that Windows resource protection found some corrupt files  in the system but could not be rectified or removed by it.  How to resolve this issue.  I have uploaded Event Viewer
    report and named it evwr and sent this compressed file to Skype.  Kindly help me to resolve/rectify this problem. Thanks. Vaidyanathan

    Hi, Vaidyanathan
    I suggest you follow these steps to solve this problem:
    1. Run “chkdsk/r” to  check whether the hard drive has bad sectors and repair it.
    2. Sometimes you may need to try several times to run “sfc
    /scannow”. If it does not work, you can try to run “sfc
    /scannow” command at boot , the files may be locked sometimes.
    3. You can also try to manually fix the corrupted file:
    Here is a link for reference :
    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
    https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/929833?wa=wsignin1.0
    4.If the problem still exits ,please upload the log to OneDrive and paste the download link for further analysis.
    <var>%WinDir%</var>\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
    5.You can also choose to return system to a previous state at which your system is functioning fine with restore point. (please note that you will lose some recent settings )
    6.

  • I opened the hard drive and found some intrusive files under places in left side of window..  How do I take them out?

    I opened the hard drive and found some intrusive files under places in left side of window..  How do I take them out?

    Thanks for the reply. I was able to save the data on the Macbook Air whose HD got corrupted by using File Sharing (ethernet connecting two Macbook Airs).
    I am also going to make a disk image of the HD using Disk Utility and mount that Disk Image onto an external hard drive. That way I can save the hard drive contents.

I have changed batteryes before(sort off the same problem) at a different time off the year. it was during winter last time i got these issues.

    Hi okgames,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be both concerning and frustrating if your iPhone will not turn on or shuts off randomly. In your situation, I would suggest reading over the attached article and try the troubleshooting steps provided to ensure all steps have been completed before considering a hardware repair.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

    Bottom line: Uninstall the Google Maps update by going to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Maps and hitting the Uninstall Updates button.
    There is a bug in the GPS driver.  Lenovo claims to be working on it.  Do not install the maps update until Lenovo fixes it.

  • Computer shut down and I lost files...HELP!

    I was using my Powerbook on battery power and it said that I had about 20 minutes remaining. Suddenly my computer shut-off.
    I connected the computer to the power source and when I started it back up my desktop was changed back to the default, the files were gone from my desktop, and everything was restored back to default settings. I lost all of my files.
    The strange thing is that I had fast-user switching turned on with a guest log-in and that account was completely fine.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a project due on Monday and I need my files back. Thank you.

    OK, my 'Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy' says "DON'T PANIC" on its first page. If you're near an Apple Store, take it to an Apple 'genius'; if you're at a university, take it to a very highly respected Unix administrator. Never take it a friend.
    Your computer should run fine with the battery removed, using just the wall cord. Your guest account is fine because that is just a sequence of directories & files on your hard disk, placed elsewhere on the disk. It may be that a file or directory necessary to login to your account (a corrupted file in the desktop subdirectory, for example) has caused your Mac to abandon the boot, booting instead in 'safe mode', creating a new account (new files) placed on the disk after your guest's files. Remember, I'm only guessing. This would mean all your files are fine, but someone needs to either repair your disk, or move all the files they can to a new directory structure. To be safe, don't write to your disk.
    If you have a hardware test CD and first Mac OS X DVD, you could 'repair your disk' and its 'permissions'; but I advise against this until the problem is correctly diagnosed. You don't want to lose your files. Instead of the above, if a friend's Mac and Firewire cable are available, you could boot as an administrator (modify Guest using your login password, for example) and click 'System Preferences > Startup Disk > Target Disk Mode > Restart'. If you connect the Firewire cable to your friend's computer, he or she will have access to all your files: possibly the ones you want. This is a benign procedure, not writing to your disk.
    Copy these files from 'My Hard Disk > Users > My Name > Desktop' to your friend's computer, or anywhere you can finish your project. Copy all your Preferences, Keychain, &c (if you can) before taking your computer in for repair.
    My next rule: the most fragile file on your computer is your 'Desktop'. Never, never, never save a file on it. MicroSoft, in its wisdom, overwrote any files stored on it when booting in 'safe' mode. (Note the quotes.) Surely Macs are more intelligent, and have a genuinely 'safe' mode. The rule: only aliases of files or folders should ever appear on a 'desktop'. Their loss is inconsequential.
    Best of luck. Remember, some 'repairs' of defective disk blocks involve marking them unavailable, meaning your Desktop is unavailable to Apple's tools; or repairs involve local reformats (copying a good block over it), creating the same problem, or worse. That's why you need a seasoned Unix professional with fancy tools. (Ask around Math & Physics Departments; a good administrator is an old guy who speaks English, not a 'geek', and will be happy to help.) I wouldn't take a chance with anyone else.
