I have two issues of concern.

1. When I run windows defrag I get an error
pop up stating that "Widows defragmenter
could not start"

2. When I click on a link I get redirected to
other search browsing sites.

If anyone knows of a possible solution it'd be
much appreciated.

In Defrag you need at least 15% free space your harddrive.
Try doing Defrag when you are in Windows Safe-Mode.

How can you have 200% free space. Do you have a hard drive that runs in the fourth dimension? 100% would be a completely empty drive.

Haha 200% meaning I have 150 gig hard drive with only 50 being
used. So i have 200% OF what's being used left over.

And Hard drives essentially run in the fourth dimension (Time)
although only in one forward direction.

And I know the correct way to report the precentage would have
been 66.6666666666666666666666666666% free.
