msnmsgr.exe - corrupt file

Hi,

From I started receiving this message :
Quote:
msnmsgr.exe - corrupt file

The file or director C: is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk untility.
I have re-installed messenger and ran Ad-aware 2008 and Anti-Malware which found nothing, and the problem still persists. No idea how to find location of the file, in which it may have stored.

Re: msnmsgr.exe - corrupt file

You can use the System File Checker to verify the integrity of its operating system files, and restore them if they are damaged. The System File Checker also offers a convenient way to extract the compressed files (such as drivers) from the installation disks. Try to make a backup with another pc then make a clean format of the pc and it should be ok.
