hard drive filling up by itself
I have a hp laptop and have a 160 gb hard drive in it which is filling up all of its own at every 1 day or 2 days time? I have already done everything that is possible to have a free space in the drive, but it fills up again. I have deleted system restore and shadow files, deleted cookies and temp files as well and also uninstalled a couple or software from control panel but still getting the same issue. 2 days before I was having 50gb space free in the hard drive and today I am having only 45 gb free space and inbetween this period I havent installed or saved anything on the hard drive, so why is this happening. I need some assitance to this annoyance.

Even one of a friend was facing similar issue on his pc. I think that there might be some virus problem in your system which might be doing some damage and is not noticed by the antivirus that you have installed in your computer. I would recommend you to first of all back up all the important data from the hard drive to some external drive or any usb drive and then reformat the whold hard drive and install a fresh copy of Windows Vista with a stable antivirus software with full updated definitions and other programs that you required. You could do a scan for virus instead of following this routine but with a complete format, i guess there wont be any traces left of the virus in your computer.
