  1. You shouldn't lose files. It's an OS repair tool, built in to the Win 7 install DVD.
  2. We have had a couple of computers reporting “There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart Windows and run sfc again” when we run the SFC /SCANNOW like that. One option that could be tried from a forum below is this: sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows drive letters might be something to look at. The web page showed a couple of examples as well. http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/run-sfc-offline-windows-7-vista/
  3. My suggestion would be to try the Malwarebytes instructions first, and then try the SFC steps if they don't fix the issue for you
  4. This is mainly for those getting Missing DLL messages or computers stuck in boot loops. We can confirm that the Windows 7 System File Check works on reacquiring missing system files. The utility will scan the Windows directory and look for corrupted and missing files, then reacquire them as need be. You will need a Windows 7 installation disc that matches the architecture of the system then follow the steps below: Insert the disc and boot to CD The installation menu will appear after loading required files – click Next to continue. The last option on the next window is “Repair your computer” – click this option. Windows will now search for Installations. It is common for it to not find an installation, so do not fret if none appear. When it is done locating installations, make sure the first radio button is selected (“Use Recovery Tools …”) and click next. Click the last option on the next window – “Command Prompt”. Type in the following command with no quotes: “sfc /scannow” The system should now start checking its files, reacquire any missing, and give you a message that it completed successfully.
