Okay lets get this first out of the way, the news is not good.

1. A defragging program to let your computer start up faster that does it at every boot, do not fall for that ever again. Next time you have a computer type in when you go to Start -> Ms config there you can set which programs boot up when your computer starts. Everything you don't need and use turn it off and your computer can start up quicker. You don't need to defrag every single time, nothing much changes over night or in a week, it is not needed on such a regular basis.

Now defragging simply means; the programs you run, your OS everything is put into sectors of your HD, sometimes there is some lose space between them and so in order to make free some harddisc space everything gets pushed together and moved in bits.

Now the bad thing and I don't know why you would ever shut down mid way but never do that again. You cut down the moving part of the defragging, basically bits of your OS, programs anything is still on its original sector on your harddisc and others are somewhere else. It cannot find the entire thing so it creates an error because it is incomplete.

Like a puzzle that when completed it is nice to look at but now lets say many of the pieces are lost somewhere and you can't see the whole picture.

Your programs are damaged because of the loss of data and your OS could have pieces lost in the sectors as well. And so to be certain things are properly placed I would suggest a full reinstall of your OS and programs. This because it could be that pieces of the OS itself are lost as well which can cause problems in the long run.

You could try reinstalling the corrupt programs, if it can find where the missing pieces are when it uninstalls.

Thirdly it could have caused damage to your harddisc so never ever do that again and don't sue that defrag at boot.
