Problem or no problem?
My laptop blue screen with a .sys file error. Upon rebooting an IE window was opened automatically by the system suggesting that the file could be corrupt or be from maleware. The window suggest I install Windows Live OneCare. I decided to do this.
OneCare told me that I had to defrag my drive. I found this curious so I ran the defrag tool that came with the system.
Question for you – problem or no problem? How do I go about sovling this inconsistency?

I suppose you could ask in the one care forum (http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windowsliveonecare). I think it’s just a bad error message, but a very confusing experience.

Well – what is a ‘high level’ anyway ?
Two files ? Two big files ? Or what ?
The built-in defrag is not very effecient (I’m using JKDefrag which is for free and does wonders to my pc) – and looking at the drive mapping I’d say you *do* need defragging.
But it’s not quite inconsistent: OneCare tells you that defrag was _partially_ completed – and it _will_ continue.
The built-in defrag tells you that according to it’s treshold values you can live a little longer (1 second, 5 hours, a day ?!? who knows) without defragging.
That may not be entirely inconsistent to me.
This is no help, I know. I’m just the third tool telling you something…
I will say ‘sorry’ though, and be the polite tool..
Sorry..
