I'm getting this message every 5 min on my comp - 'C:\$MFT is corrupt and unreadable.Pls run chkdisc utility'. Although i'm able to use my comp pretty much as usual, everytime my comp starts, it runs a disc check saying that the volume is dirty. i ran spybot, mcafee and avast antivirus. avast did pick up a few trojans and adwares which were removed. but i still keep getting these messages. i'm not too sure what to do next. any advice is appreciated.

t's talking about your Master File Table. Supposedly you get this when you have too many files or not enough space allocated for it but you can also get it if your harddrive has a bad sector where they put the MFT. Do like they say and run chkdsk. See if it finds a bad spot.
