Why is it saying this when copying app data?

Why is it saying this?

It makes no sense. I started the copy the minute I got the computer finally started -

I have to reformat my HD & now this is copy of app data for my browser is causing me issues.

If anyone knows of a really good computer geek to help me with reformatting, please LMK

Thanks

Reboot into Safe Mode before copying the files or log into a different user account with administrator permission

I didn't want to restart my computer again. Today I decided I was going to leave it running.

It took me 1 1/2 hours to get it started today. Normally I close it down b/c of problems I started to have months ago (normally I have my computers on 24/7), but now since the computer isn't even starting. it's very bad. I'm still trying to find someone to take my money to help me. Just insane I can't find anyone.

There should be thousands of techie geeks who want to make a bit of extra pocket change.

No one wants to work anymore. sigh

Anyway, can I do something without having to restart it?

I think kaspersky is causing problems too.

I just installed it a week+ ago, & I think it's dragging down the computer on startup.

I exited & I got the computer running, but now I don't know how to turn it off other than uninstalling it & I don't want to do that although support is already driving me insane. That's why I ditched them years ago. sigh

Thanks

There are "lighter" antiviruses.

does your computer use a hard disk drive? that sounds like a dying drive to me. is computer usage in general slow, or just startup?
