Hardrive utilities

I am not putting on my SSD ( i want to put windows and world of warcraft and other games i play alot on the SSD ) I ran my anti-virus: Microsoft Security Essentials and also ran Malware bytes and nothing showed up. I tried to do a system restore and go back before i downloaded glary utilities but when i went to go check to see if i could do it there were no restore points and it told me the feature was not enabled i got my PC built and i guess they never turned that feature on.Now i have some questions I know that malware and viruses can't effect your video card, CPU or Ram and only hardrive But i looked up on google to see if anything could be infected they said that motherboards can become infected is that true? i am using the Asus P8Z77-V LK, if i go out and buy a new hard drive will i still have this lag problem because my motherboard bios is infected? Should i even go out and buy a new harddrive or can i fix the one i have now? if you could help me figure out what i should do to fix my pc and make it the way it was before downloading Glary utilities that would be awesome and much apprecaited thank you!PC specs should be in my forum profile the motherboard i am using now is the Asus P8Z77-V LK and the hard drive

Forum: General DiscussionThis topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information. Hi Folks. I just bought myself a new lappy and was wondering if it is better to throw all my audio and video files onto an external hardrive and leave my internal C drive empty?? I have a dj friend who only puts his tunes on an external hardrive and said his system runs great. Any advice would be appreciated. Thx Folks Posted Wed 27 Feb 13 @ 6:22 am PhantomDeejayPRO InfinitySenior staffMember since 2007 There are SEVERAL reasons why I would always recommend to use an external drive, but I don't have the time right now to analyze them.However here are a few reasons: Portability, Less heat issues, Easier to backup/Clone, No damage/data loss in case you need to format your system or in case your system crashes, e.t.c.Please keep in mind that you only read a few MB from your hard drive each time you load a song and thus you don't need ULTRA FAST speeds for your media files. And once VDJ loads a song, it loads it on RAM and it doesn't keep reading from your drive until you load the next song e.t.c.

I for one never use my CDs/DVD drive so it's not a big lose to me plus I don't worry about forgetting it cause it's in my laptop and I don't have to worry about dropping it cause again it's in my laptop.

JDecatur Private E-2 I have an HP laptop with (what I believe) are all of its windows updates as well as HP firmware/updates. However, the hardrive is constantly running and the LED indicator is always lit. I have run all of the requested programs in the Read Me First. Can you please review and let me know if there are any indications of problems or causes for the constant hard drive activity?Thank you Attached Files: a"> AdwCleaner[S00].txt File size: 4.5 KB Views: 3 RogueKiller.txt File size: 6 KB Views: 3 MGlogs.zip File size: 253.4 KB Views: 1 JDecatur, Feb 26, 2022 #1 JDecatur Private E-2 Adding HItman Pro log Attached Files: a"> HitmanPro_20220226_2359.log File size: 21.6 KB Views: 5 JDecatur, Feb 27, 2022 #2 TimW MajorGeeks Administrator - Jedi Malware Expert Staff Member Not seeing any malware. I suggest you run task manager to see what is running. There may be items you can disable until you find what is causing the constant drag on your HD.
