    External Hard Disk

    in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum

    Posted

    Hi AdvanceSetup, thank you for taking your time.

    Attached screenshots   1) HDD Powershell    2) Western Digital Diagnostics (Test hangs)  3) HDD Scan (shows Errors)  4)  Western Digital HDD Status (Cheer everything is perfect)

    I would like to try to isolate bad sectors with some software, time to recover some files and then destroy the disk.  Do you think this is a good idea?

    Many thanks again

    First of all, thanks for your reply. I attach the two Farbar files.
    In these three days I have made many attempts (system restart, chkdsk, sfc / scannow),  something has happened
    1) The  external hard disk is listed by Windows Disk Management now.   2) Windows explore files shows all the directories in the disk  3) I can click on a directory and see the files   4) The WD hard disk seems good,  disk property finds no errors.
    But one click on a file (it is a 20M tiff - just to copy it elsewhere) and the PC hangs, doesn't respond, even system restart hangs. Just remove the hard disk from USB and the PC starts working again    Now I am resigned but so very curious to understand which is the culprit (Virus, defective disk, Windows)
    Regards

    Thanks Porthos and Exile. 

    With the time saved I can drink an excellent beer (hi !!) 

    It is better to smile and not get angry when I think that external disk problems are due to a partition software.

    I made a mistake, I trusted it and now I'm trying to recover the files. I have a backup of many,  unfortunately not all.

    Let me as you a question first. What kind of files do you store on the external drive?

    I have a Western Digital  3Tb with photos (Tiff-Jpeg) and video (Avi). 

     I read all directories but as soon as I click anything on the external drive the PC hangs, it doesn't respond.   Windows chkdsk says there are no errors. Hypothesis of a malware, I have no other ideas.

    Update Malwarebyte 2.2.1.1043

    MBARW usually runs at startup (Windows 10). I learnt to check this and to use FIX command if MBARW doesn't start ( really few times).

    As I updated Malwarebytes Premium to 2.2.1.1043, MBARW (0.9.14.361) neither starts protection nor read FIX command.

    I unistalled MBARW (Revo uninstaller) and install it again.  The same, MBARW fails to activate

    Enable protection

    I downloaded and installed the new version MBARW 0.9.12.336 (on Windows 10 64bit)

    After reboot MBARW is off

    Click on "FIX NOW" and protection is on

    I made several reboot and protection was always ON 

     

    I played with start/stop protection command (yes, no one should play so)

    I click stop to get protection  OFF, I click start to get protection ON, and so on sequentially four times

    The fifth time I played MBARW hang (see the screenshot) 

    Anti-Ransomware is disable and Your system is fully protected !!

    After this, I found no way to Fix. I had to reboot the system
