PROBLEM DIVICES

Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard ACPI\PNP0303\4&38D79619&0 This device is not present, is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed.


VIA VT6421 RAID Controller PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3249&SUBSYS_32491106&REV_50\4&25700A26&0&5020 This device cannot start.

About 15/11/2011 I had a Notification from that It had detected two threats:-

C:\System Volume Information\...\A))52078.exe
Win32:injected-BA[PUP]
Action:
Process: C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Antimalware\Mban.exe

I deleted these as they could not be sent to the Virus Chest and could not be blocked because the servers thereto were not working.

That was an incorrect unwise decision as I was to later find out from the Avast Forums. Further I got another notification via Avast of the same type only this time it was located in :-

C:\Program Files\Seagate\..\MaxBlackServiceInt.exe. This was detected and blocked when the filed was created and/or modified. I was required to add and did add the same to the exclusion list.

I made a check in Applications - System via Computor Management and found that since the deletion of the files firstly mentioned above that there are several reocurring errors in the system which are related to:-
Disc: Category None Event 11.
Atapi Category None Event 5.
Viamraid Category None Event 4
Disc Category None Event 51

And there seems to be a parity issue as well. I don not understand these things but it seems that mypartitioner "D Drive has been failing to start up or just parity failing. That I may have to replace the whole disc and then do a clean install to the "C" drive. These are just my assumptions.

My Questions are whether these matters can be fixed or should I go on my assumptions. I am seeing these errors and/or warnings every day. Meanwhile the system works but for how long I don't know.

I have been hearing the normal smooth sound from the motherboard but sometimes it seems as if a gear has changed and the sound becomes a bit noisey

Thanking you in advance for your advice in arriving at a solution to the problem.

Is Something Not Working Correctly?
Nov 22, 2011 12:16AM PST

The errors you're seeing may be perfectly normal.. The "Event Viewer" will frequently show an error if something didn't start immediately. Generally, you can move beyond them unless there is a problem. If your keyboard is working normally, don't worry about the error. Same thing about the Raid controller.. It may not be needed and therefore doesn't start, OR...it may be starting late..

Same thing about the Avast notifications.. They both appear to be false positives.. Mbam.exe is the normal program file for Malwarebytes and it appears to be in the correct location.. Because it was detected by Avast in the System Volume Information folder (system restore files), it's not really a problem anyway. Deleting them won't cause a problem. (To make it go away entirely, temporarily disable System Restore, restart the computer, then re-enable System Restore.. )

As to the "D" drive you mention, is this the Recovery Partition which is part of many brand name computers.. If so, it's not supposed to "start up" because it's locked for general usage and is designed to be available only during Recovery options when needed.

The sound you're hearing is most likely a fan starting to make some noise.. Open the case of the computer and see if you can identify the fan making the noise. If so, simply replace it..

It seems like you're looking around the computer so much that you are finding things that aren't really problems.

Hope this helps.

Hello Grif,

Thank you for your reply post. I have noted the contents thereof. I surmise that you are right and Quote you:-
" It seems like you're looking around the computer so much that you are finding things that aren't really problems. Lol. I think so as well. However viruses, security warnings and personal unintentional errors do cause me some anxiety.

I really felt that something was wrong. I noted that the system was slow and not working the way I knew it to work so after the time of writing my post I did another Avast scan and came up with 2 instances of Java:Agent-ZA [Expl] and 2 instances of the same, this time -ZB [Expl]. Well, It took Avast 10 hours to complete the full system scan of Drives "C", "D", "E" and the external Drive "H". The findings are evidence that the system was not working right or hampered from working properly.

In Closing thank you so much for your comments. They were useful in making me realise my own faults of being over careful. Lol.

Regarding Those Java Detections...
Nov 23, 2011 12:09AM PST

Frequently, those are the result of saved Java cache items.. Although worthy of detection, they aren't really a serious threat.. In order to avoid those particular detections in the future, you can take a couple of steps..

1. Make sure you have the most recent version of Java installed on your computer. The current version is Java 7 Update 29. (I wouldn't install Java 7 at this time as some are experiencing issues with it)

2. Disable the Java's ability to cache such files like this:

Open the Control Panel, double click on the "Java" icon to open the Java control panel. Once thats' open on the "General" tab, click on the "Settings" button in the "Temporary Internet Files" section.. Once there, UNCHECK the box next to "Keep temporary files on my computer", then click on the "Delete files" button. Click on OK, then OK to close the Java panel.

Hope this helps.
