defrag - scan is cancelled

I've just freshly reinstalled Windows XP Pro + Windows XP SP2 and security
updates. I would like to defrag my C drive but I receive this error:

"The scan has been canceled because an error occurred in file:
C:\I386\AMSINT.SYS"

Previous to this error, I got the same error message pertaining to:
C:\I386\AMSTREAM.DLL. I ran a registry cleaning program. After cleaning the
registry, it's the same error, but a different file.

I have run chkdisk already. I was able to successfully defrag two other
partitions on the same drive.

Thanks in advance for any help on this ~

My feeling is that have some difficult to remove malware.

You need to use an anti-spyware programme like Spybot S & D to check and
clean your syste. I doubt it will remove the problem, You will need to
download and install HijackThis and post to a specialist HijackThis
forum for help with removal.

May I suggest you downoad and run Spybot S & D.

Install and run HijackThis:
Download HijackThis (Freeware)
http://www.whatthetech.com/hijackthis/

Finally run HijackThis and post the HijackThis log to the HijackThis
forum here:

You should dump the registry cleaner

WHY do you want to defrag a fresh installation?!

Are you an OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE?
 
Yoy should run Disk CleanUp and Disk Defragmenter after any major
changes. That's good practice.

Uninstall and reinstall video driver and direct x
 

> Uninstall and reinstall video driver and direct x

Can you tell me more? Does AMSINT.SYS have to do with the video driver and
direct x? Today when I try to defrag I'm getting the same error on a
different file: ALIDE.SYS.
 
I am already using Panda. I did a full scan and my computer was squeaky clean.

Why dump the registry cleaner? It has really improved performance.

Dump Registry Mechanic, which is most likely the cause of your problems.
