    Unable to Start Disk Defragment & also unable to Create Restore Po

    Hi,
    1- when I want to Defrag, I get the mesage: Disk Defragment could not start.
    2- when I want to Create a Restore Point I get: System Restore isn't able to
    create a restore point. Please restart the computer and then run system
    restore again.

    Gerry,

    I'm protected by the latest version of Kaspirdky Internet Security and I
    didn't have this problem before.

    Kaspersky is most likely causing the problem with System Restore:
    http://bertk.mvps.org/html/srfail.html

    There are also reports that Kaspersky interferes with Disk Defragmenter.
    Try running Disk Defragmenter in Safe mode.

    The problem in the article relates to the Kaspersky v.6 or 7. But I'm using
    the latest build v.8. Besides, I'm using this kaspersky since last few months
    without any problem. But this difficulty has just occured.

    I can't chekdisk either. When I use the Windows Tool for volume check, I get
    an error message: Windows was unable to complete the task. And When I use
    windows Start>run with chkdsk command, the error message is: Can't open
    volume for direct access.

    If you used Western Digital's Data Lifeguard Tools to make and use a backup
    image of your hard drive then it often corrupts the System Restore Registry
    entry. I had this problem.

    They have a fix in the knowledge base: Answer ID# 1231

    Shams

    The information I have provided is what I have gained from research
    using Google etc over a number of years and not from using Kaspersky. In
    this case I do not think the version of Kasperky matters as the
    interference is most likely by design rather than a result of poor
    programme design. The approach of a number of security software
    providers is primarily directed to providing a secure computing
    environment. That their provision interferes with services provided by
    the provider of the operating system is not a major consideration for
    them. Often they offer a competing product to sell to the user who finds
    existing software no longer works. Lack of collaboration between
    Microsoft and security and other software providers has always presented
    problems for the user of software.

    Kaspersky and Microsoft are constantly making changes so whilst you may
    not have a problem one day you can find the next day you have. Your
    System Restore problem most likely arises because Kaspersky is intent on
    preventing unauthorised changes to the Registry. Using System Restore to
    go back is not identified by Kaspersky as an authorised change so it
    blocks the change. Better software prompts the user to confirm the
    change. Spybot S & D does this. System Restore has always given problems
    and many users have moved to disk cloning software to circumvent the
    problems. Otherwise you need to disable Kaspersky whilst trying to use
    System Restore to go back. Of course it does not have to be Kasperky but
    can be other security software like a software firewall, except that the
    Windows Firewall does not interfere.

    Problems running Disk Defragmenter are frequently accompanied by a
    similar situation when you try to run chkdsk. You need to resolve the
    problem with chkdsk before you will get Disk Defragmenter to work.

    The problem you have with chkdsk is that the drive has been locked and
    chkdsk cannot open the drive. Have you been trying another disk checking
    utility?
