I did try to run a full scan before I went to bed. The thing is that at one point the electricity power crashed and pc shut down. Though I think this time the scan was fine, because it lasted 3 hours. I m gonna run it again today, and see if there are any problems.

Is this a desktop PC I take it ?.....meaning no battery.
Do you have a lot of power outages where you are ?
If so, do you leave apps open and these power outages crash the machine while open ?

I ask because there is no "graceful" shutdown for a desktop PC with power outage or even power blip.
The O/S basically "crashes" and then recovers on boot.....but this can cause a lot of the chkdsk errors you see over time.
Where I am does not have outages but power "blips".......so I have a powerstrip that has battery and it comes with USB connection and small software app that I can set to shutdown the PC gracefully.  The battery does not hold the PC up for long....say 10 minutes....but that is not my intent.  I just want enough time to shut things down or if power blip the PC keeps running.....or if I am away the software detects power is off and shuts down PC nicely.  Anyway, just a thought if you are not on battery.  Which, BTW if you have a laptop/battery PC you need to change the critical power level alarm action to do a shutdown.....many times these just put in STBY.....this can save you if you are away when all this happens.

In that case methinks I will send you on your merry way :)

Subject to no further problems   :)

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems 

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean  :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset  System Restore points:

Download and run Delfix




: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article and this article.
I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware



Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean


It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
