I have used OneCare before and I am familiar with it. I suspect I have a
virus but my virus protection says no. When I start to run OneCare, it
begins alright, starts telling me in red letters I have "17 items detected, 1
issue detected", and then mysteriously it stops scanning about 50% in
progress (actually stops scanning, tells me I'm 100% completed, letters turn
to green and congratulates me that my system is free of issues).

Something just isn't right. What does anyone make of this?

Hello RoseMary,

This MSkb explains chkdsk and I believe if
you use switches it will repair your faults.

chkdsk volume:/f

or

chkdsk volume:/r

It can be bad sectors but I belive the /f switch solves it.



Get a second opinion with Trend Micro and Ewido

MS has made available web-forums for OneCare support and questions.

Good luck
