WD very slow sometimes dies with application error

Hello,

Just thought I'd throw this one out there...

I have WD running on several machines here at work and have had numerous
problems. It runs very slow mostly on the attempt to remove found spyware.
Its been between 2- 8 ormore hours sometimes. Sometimes it "succeeds" (I
guess) sometimes it just never finishes without error and the everything
'appears' to freeze up, and sometimes it fails with an 'application has
encountered an error and needs to close' error. When that last one happens I
can uninstall and reinstall WD to hearts content and still the error appears.
Am I missing something? (my ex-wife need not respond to that last
question... :) )

Thanks much in advance,

-Jon
 
Hello Jon,

Try to run CHKDSK /R

Have you DEFRAG the HD.

Also, clean all the junk of trash with Ccleaner
http://www.ccleaner.com/downloadbuilds.asp
Note, When you install Ccleaner, uncheck the Yahoo toolbar option.
Note, in Options, Settings, Advanced, uncheck - Only delete files in Windows
folders older than 48 hours.
Note: uncheck Windows Defender in the applications.
Open Ccleaner and press "Windows" "Aplications" and Run Cleaner from the
menu choose 'Issues' and then press scan for issues, Repair any fºund.
Run twice Ccleaner, the same as above,until you get “0 bytes to be removedâ€.
