Computer Is Doing Frequent Consistency Checks

[keonesan]

My computer just did a consistency check twice within the same week.

I'm pretty sure they're not suppose to be that frequent.

My dad suspects it's either malware or my hard drive if failing.

Scanning my computer with Ad-Aware right now.

If you think your hard drive is dying, do back-ups. A LOT. Once a hard drive craps out, its hard to get the files off it.

If your HDD is dying, the last thing you want to do is do a scan before you backup.

Backup first, then scan.
