Does the bolded folder C:\Windows\winsxs\SFCFix still exists ?
 
it was never bold.. it's still there..
Click to expand...
I didn't mean the folder being bold in Explorer, only to indicate it as a subfolder in C:\Windows\winsxs.

Warning: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Do not run this script on another machine.
  1. Download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop:
    64-bit: Downloading Farbar Recovery Scan Tool
    Note: Your antivirus program may report FRST incorrectly as an infection. If so, disable the real-time protection when downloading and running FRST.
  2. Download the attachment fixlist.txt and save it to your desktop.
  3. Right-click on FRST64.exe and select "Run as administrator".
  4. Press the Fix button.
  5. The tool will now process fixlist.txt.
  6. If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
  7. When finished, a log called Fixlog.txt will appear in the same directory the tool is run from.
  8. Post the logfile Fixlog.txt as attachment in your next reply.

Is the folder deleted now ?
 
yes:) thank you.. so does this mean my file is no longer corrupt? i had an instance of a problem with my browser andd was told it could be due to the missing or corrupt mshta file.

Is that fixed or does it still occur ?
 
if it's fixed then apparently it was not related - this morning when trying to drag a tab to a bookmark folder it froze. I now have a leftover marker showing. (attach 1)

when it first happened I sent the following two images to bleeping when i was being helped with the mshta issue (attach 2 & 3)

Perform a new scan with FRST:

FRST Scan:
  1. Right-click to run the tool FRST64.exe as administrator.
  2. Note: Ensure that the Addition.txt check box is checked at the bottom of the form within the Optional Scan area.
  3. Press the Scan button.
  4. Please wait for the tool to finish. It will produce two logfiles called FRST.txt and Addition.txt in the same directory the tool is run from (which should be the desktop)
  5. Post the logfiles FRST.txt and Addition.txt as attachment in your next reply.
 
Something went wrong with the log file FRST.txt.
Please perform a new scan with FRST.
When completed attach the file FRST.txt only.
 
Yes, it shouldn't remain once the tab is moved - it only remained because the tab froze which is also why in the other image there were two tabs on top of each other.
So does this mean my file is no longer corrupt or missing?

Thank you - I appreciate it.
