Event 55, Ntfs. Causing System to lock up every hour.

Question

I checked the event log because my computer began locking up frequently last night. About a month ago I started regularly getting event 55 occurrences (after struggling to remove a browser hijacker virus) and now it looks like the last two event 55 occurrences
were at the exact same time my computer locked up. Hovering over icons on the desktop would highlight them but the taskbar was completely unresponsive. There was also a small clock by the action center icon as if it were trying to do something.
Here is the event log
Event 55, Ntfs
A corruption was discovered in the file system structure on volume \\?\Volume{960a24b6-118a-4ca0-95fa-7ad8a3f370fb}.
A file on the volume is no longer reachable from its parent directory.  The parent file reference number is 0x2000000000002.  The name of the parent directory is "<unable to determine file name>".  The parent index attribute is
":$I30:$INDEX_ALLOCATION".  The file reference number of the file that needs to be reconnected is 0x100000009c3ac.  There may be additional files on the volume that also need to be reconnected to this parent directory.

It appears to have fixed the outstanding issue on the file system but you may want to re-run chkdsk about a week from now to see if it re-occurs.
I suspect you still have the freezing issue.  If so next step is a system file check and event viewer logs
Please run a system file check (SFC)
All instructions are in our Wiki article below...
Should you have any questions please ask us.

Please provide us with your Event Viewer administrative logs by following these steps:
Click Start Menu
Type eventvwr into Search programs and files (do not hit enter)
Right click eventvwr.exe and click Run as administrator
Expand Custom Views
Click Administrative Events
Right click Administrative Events
Save all Events in Custom View As...
Save them in a folder where you will remember which folder and save as Errors.evtx
Go to where you saved Errors.evtx
Right click Errors.evtx -> send to -> compressed (zipped) folder
Upload the .zip file to skydrive or a file sharing service and put a link to it in your next post
