Title: Computer Problem. (Free space on C drive decreasing)
Post by: 40oz GRApHire on May 17, 2003, 05:31:07 AM
Hi,

My computer is acting a little strange lately, the space of my C drive is decreasing. I have 2 drives, both are 10 GB but my C: drive is were all the programs and all run but lately I dont use my c: drive offend to download or anything only programs but i havent downloaded any in a long while so 2 weeks ago I noticed my pc went a bit slow, so I checked my C: drive to check my free disk space and it said 2 GB while it used to be like 4 GB, I didnt really worry about it and removed some programs that took alot of space, so I had 3GB after that, now I just checked because its going REALLY slow and it seems that my C drive only has 86.2 MB free disk space  :o.

I dont know how it comes that it lowers down but I remember downloading a program 2 months ago, it was incredit mail or something but I didnt like the program because it was giving errors so I unstalled it and I kept gettin' lil email files all over my c: drive in every directory but after a while it was ok, so I left it like it was, the files were real small so I didnt figure them as a problem... deleting them was no use because they would come back.. Maybe thats the reason but I dont think so but thats the only thing possible that I can think off...

Looks pretty like you got the SPACEFILLER VIRUS. I used to have it.
