if errorlevel 1 goto failure
if errorlevel 0 goto success

Then have failure setup as:

:FAILURE
CLS
ECHO Backup has failed! Please see XCOPY.LOG.
GOTO END

I added the sentence “Please see XCOPY.LOG.” for a reason. If you still wanted to know what the errors were, you can setup the XCOPY command like this:

xcopy i:\*.* h:\archive\graphics\%INPUT% /D/E/R/I/K/-Y/exclude:i:\ErrorMssg\omit.txt > XCOPY.LOG

What the extra code will do is create a file showing what would appear on the screen when executing the XCOPY command, including the errors, in the directory the batch file is located. I created a little remap of the entire code from post #10. Take a look:

@echo off
set INPUT=
set /p INPUT= Enter PREVIOUS Date (ddmmyyyy) for which you want to create an ARCHIVE folder:
md h:\archive\graphics\%INPUT%

xcopy i:\*.* h:\archive\graphics\%INPUT% /D/E/R/I/K/-Y/exclude:i:\ErrorMssg\omit.txt > XCOPY.LOG

if errorlevel 1 goto failure
if errorlevel 0 goto success

:FAILURE
CLS
ECHO Backup has failed! Please see XCOPY.LOG.
GOTO END

:success
echo y | rd /s/q i:\DailyWork
echo y | del i:\Clients.xls
echo The backup was successful.
goto end

:end
pause
exit

Perhaps try it out and see if you like it?

What to do now?

I tried copying a C drive program folder that ADWCleaner reports onto an external drive and it still only reported the copy which was on the C drive. I repeated this with the ADWCleaner download on the external and it gave the same results.

As ADWCleaner looks for different things to Windows Defender it is not unreasonable to expect the latter to find something after ADWCleaner has run. This is why to properly clean a computer you need to run several programs. ADWCleaner and MalwareBytes are usually a very good start.

Let Johnw see the logs as per #3.

Always pop back and let us know the outcome – thanks
