I've never posted on a forum, and certainly never in this one, so forgive me if this is in the wrong category.

Anyway, I got this Asus laptop for christmas last year, and its been working fine until recently. A few month's ago, everytime i turned my laptop on, i would get this CHKDSK program come up saying that its checking a file system and that it is NTFS, and that its checking for consistency. If I allow the scan to continue, then it will make it to stage to and stop at 56%. It has always done this since the issue first came up so i rarely bother with letting it continue now.

After this problem surfaced, another one soon followed. As I would try to log on to my profile, it would say welcome with the spinning donut thing thats the loading screen for Vista (I think this is the splash screen, if that helps any). The computer would hang at this point. I tried waiting to see if it was just being slow, but it wasnt. I used to be able to solve this by just restarting the computer once, but now it can take up to an hour of constantly restarting the computer before i can finally get on.

Another problem that has come up is that sometimes when i'm finally able to get on my profile, some of the windows i try to pull up will go white and the box will come up saying something like "This program is not responding, would you like to close it?" If this happens, I have to restart the computer again.

Now I get home today and find out that the wireless signal I have will drop completely every few hours and my sister told me that when she tries to log out, the computer will sometimes hang at that point.

Also, I get this message on my toolbar sometimes that says corrupt files. It's a little triangle with an exclamation mark, but when i try to click on it, it disappears, which is really strange. This actually brings me to my last point. Just before all this started to happen, I had problems with a few corrupt files dealing with avgrs. I couldn't get rid of them, but i somehow got them in a separate folder from where they were, and that seemed to solve whatever problem they were giving me at the time (i have a bad memory). I was thinking that this may be the origin of my problem, but i'm not sure.

I'm sorry for the long post, but at this point i'm really worried that my laptop will become unusable. I don't know if any of the above is linked in any way, but they seem to be.

Before I stop, i want to mention that my mom had a guy from charter come to fix some problems with our router (unrelated). When he looked at my laptop, he said that he was surprised that the thing had not experienced the blue screen of death. He gave some suggestions to fix it, such as disk cleanup, defragmentation, and a program called spybot (spybot found a lot of malicous programs, but says i don't have administrative rights to delete them even though I do). Defragmentation doesn't seem to work anymore, and disk cleanup does nothing to fix the problem.
