That means the files were in use.
Do the SFC /SCANNOW in Windows SAFE mode
To start your computer in safe mode
Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer, and then restart your computer.
Click the Start button , click the arrow next to the Shut Down button , and then click Restart.
Do one of the following:
If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.
If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to highlight the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.
On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the "SAFE MODE" option, and then press Enter.
Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights.
When your computer is in safe mode, you'll see the words Safe Mode in the corners of your screen. To exit safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.
If this does not work. you will have to check if your system is free of Malware.
But you have to do it in Windows Safe Mode again.
Restart your computer, hit F8 but this time select "Safe mode with networking" option
Go to CNET's download.com to download a free version of Malwarebyte. Install and perform update immediately, then do a full SCAN.
Remove malware if it indeed finds any. Restart computer to start Windows normally to let Malwarebyte complete the removal.
