Is it virus free? Has the hard drive been completely cleaned?

This is a refurbished computer, works beautifully with no issues. You MUST use anti-virus software to protect to protect your computer

Yes, works great. Fast, clean and came with a keyboard and mouse. I would buy another if I had use for more.

Yes it is. Just make sure that you get good virus protection or it won't stay that way for long!!!

My virus protection (McAfee) is interfering with the backups as Erik noted below. I'm not sure how to correct it. However, I wouldn't count on Clickfree device still working. I plan on contacting Clickfree to figure out what's going on. In the meantime I'm backing up using a flash drive...sux.

The computer is new. So only thing on the hard drive is the default programs. But I would not recommend this computer. It has too many issues to list here. I won't be buying it again.

The picture is often used to depict a Hard Drive. The drive I received was in a normal case and it is working fine. NOTE: do not attempt to open the drive to see the inards - that would void your warrenty and could make the drive unusable.

I've had this computer for about 3 months and haven't had this problem (or any problem for that matter)... What have you downloaded recently? Maybe a program or something you downloaded caused this. Worst case scenario, used "system restore" to reset the computer back to a certain time when the problem didn't exist

It is formatted for NTFS Windows OS. Also, I have dropped it once when I was getting out of the car. The drive is totally unusable due to bad sectors after that.

As I answer, remember... my hard drive got wiped. Make certain you switch your hard drive to "slave" status if you haven't already. Otherwise, you should be OK.

The drive itself isn't. But the software being used with it might be blocking it. I would check the regional settings in the software.

More information please: OS? Steps you have taken (I.e. Have you unplugged the drive and restarted the computer, etc.) also, was the drive bring accessed when improperly ejected?

It's a windows 8 OS. Yes, you need an antivirus, just as with any computer connected to the internet.

They are likely OEM hard drives pulled from new or newer servers or computers. I bought one and it was an HP OEM WD drive with no warranty at all. I would use some caution buying these drives...

Good points. It's still relatively new, and I wonder especially how the hard drive model has held up. My new one arrived DOA, and now I'm really struggling over whether to ask Amazon for a refund or an exchange. This baby may be intended to be Solid State all the way, which means the hard drive models will be unwanted period pieces in another year or two.

Well I hope I could help but to be frank, my has never given me such problem since I bought it. It has lasted for some months now and it is still up and running as if it is still new. you need check to see if virus isn't in the system

No it's a blank hard drive. You will need to format to what ever operating system u are using.

There will be nothing on the hard drive left. Its wiped clean. You'll have to reinstall with new software.

You're way beyond my level of understanding. Mine came with Windows 7 installed and works just fine, even after a later re-install when the hard drive was wiped clean to get rid of a virus.

I can't remember any pre-installed programs being on this drive when I bought it but there certainly aren't any on it now, and I have not formatted it. It's possible I deleted a folder or two when I got it but I can't remember.
