Hello,
Yes, I did encounter a virus, an ogre, with a huge appetite for space. I don't remember the name. I have looked-up my files to find the thread in which I helped the person to restore the system to health but in vain.
But I do recall that we started with the study of a Hyjackthis log.
Please download and install Hyjackthis, request a scan and save log. Copy the log and paste here. We will see what we can find.
Here is the link to Hyjackthis:

Ambucias ; Thanks for your reply and the humour about the ogre ! The problem was resolved , thanks to the people @ Piriform Docs which I found on google . I just wrote you a detailed account of the fix , which somehow was lost when I tried to send , but the jist of it is that the space alotted for system restore points was full and causing the prob of inaccurate freespace readings . So I manually deleted these old "shadow copy files " and it fixed it ! And , I am saving the linc for hyjack this . Is this a good prog to run just to see what it comes up with ? Thanks again !

Hello,
That is really good news and congratulations in finding the fix.
I in turn will look for the detailed account for the fix and see if it can be published in the FAQ.
Thank you ever so much for taking the time to reply for often many don't bother.
Very best regards

Ambucias ; Likewise , I appreciate your attentiveness ! I am new to these forums and if even not a large percentage of the people co-operate , I can see where it would be a really good thing . That Piriform Defraggler remedy , I found by simply Googling "defraggler problems " , and there was a linc to "piriform Docs that directly addressed the prob . Thanks again !
