Malwarebytes has frozen up my computer

[striger347]

I only installed this program to scanned my computer once, and when the trial ran out and uninstalled the program, my computer has been running slow and barely responding since. I have since updated drivers, cleaned out the memory, and defragged, but to no avail.

The biggest issue appears to probably be a failing hard drive

 

System errors:
=============
Error: (11/02/2022 11:44:27 PM) (Source: disk) (EventID: 7) (User: )
Description: The device, \Device\Harddisk1\DR1, has a bad block.

 

==================== MBR & Partition Table ====================

==========================================================
Disk: 0 (Protective MBR) (Size: 1863 GB) (Disk ID: 00000000)

Partition: GPT.

==========================================================
Disk: 1 (Size: 931.5 GB) (Disk ID: 536C8402)

Partition: GPT.
Attempted reading MBR returned 0 bytes.
 Could not read MBR for disk 2.

 

I would highly recommend that you backup all personal data.

Then test the hard drive for pending failure using dedicated software from the vendor
