So not re-started again and just hope that it doesnt do it again.
Can't do a defrag as you need 15% free space and I can't do that as I only have 2% due to the 81GB in Application data and 134GB in the copy of My Documents! The hard drive is 250GB and I have a 1.5TB external hard-drive.
you need to somehow get them trojens off your comp, a trojen is exactly what it says, it gets on your comp then allows spyware in, which can copy your passwords ect, some trojens are not so serious, but they must go, the crashing maybe because your drive is too full , try work on 1 thing at a time, delete anything you no longer require, and copy to external hard drive or usb drive anything you think you can take off temp and store it will free up a bit more space, then emsisoft might work better, i think the crash is because the lack of space for the scanner to work properly, there is another emsisoft scanner, i think its a slightly smaller version of the same, its called emergency kit scanner it can be loaded to a usb stick and run from that if required, always run update before running,once you have it there are a choice of scans, only use the top one emergency kit scanner , the other 3 are a more complicated thing u dont need
