Default scan disk and defrag

80G drive........downloaded Geodisc and worked fine for a few months. Now it
stops and advises to scan disk first. Scan Disk advises too many programs
running. I close everything down and it still won't scan. Any suggestions?
Computer is getting slower by the day and seizing at times. Thanks

Default scan disk and defrag

Spyware/scumware/adware are causing numerous system problems. I recommend
you download and use the following programs and consider removing everything
these programs identify. Be aware that there are frequent updates to these
programs and you need to check for them before every use.
