allright so Ive had my xp for about a year and a half, and until now Ive taken pretty good care of it. Ive removed spyware, defragmented it, deleted unused files and RUBBISH programs the whole nine yards, But about two days AGO I noticed that everytime I checked the harddrive Its memory had lessened a little, on saturday all I had used was 10GB of memory, but today It says that Ive used 14GB of memory, I havent downloaded anything, so why this great increase of space used?

I think this may have happened while I was looking for porn on limewire (get over yourselfs, you do it to.) Anyway these zip files starting popping up all over the place so I deleted lime wire and the shared files. But this didnt help, my memory is still being slowly eaten.

Any idea on how I can fix this or what I can do, If you help me I cannot even explain how much I thank you, my computer cost our family lots and lots of money and I dont want to break it.sHaRp12...... Well for openers , I would do the following ..... Go into control panel and click on folder options. select the view tab ...and make sure you have show hidden files ticked .........then apply and ok ......
Next reboot into safe mode ......once in safe mode ......
Run a full SYSTEM scan with your anti virus , then run a full scan with SpyBot  , then run Adaware SE and then run M/S antispyware Beta .......
Delete anything that is found .......
Next go ito Internet options and delete all temp internet files  , delete all cookies and delete history .

Now have a look and see if you have recoved what was lost .

dl65  I did a virus scan on my computer and it found one virys, it was called bloodhound.w32.EP

I tried to delete it but it did not work, so what do I do take care of this virus?What Anti Virus software are you running?Did you run your virus scanner in safe mode with system restore turned off?
Google for bloodhound.w32.EP.
(STINGER is good on w32 viruses)

I have had XP for a year and a half, and until now I have taken pretty good care of it. I have removed spyware, defragmented it, deleted unused files and rubbish programs.

About two days ago I noticed that everytime I checked the hard drive its memory free-space had lessened a little.

On Saturday I had only used 10GB of drive-space,  but today it says that I have used 14GB.

I haven't downloaded anything, so why this great increase of used space?

I think this may have happened while I was looking for porn on limewire (get over yourselves, you do it too.)

Zip files starting popping up all over the place, so I deleted Limewire uninstalled? and the shared files, but this didn't help, my drive-space is still being slowly used up.

Any idea on how I can fix this or what I can do, If you help me I cannot even explain how much I thank you. My computer cost our family a lot of money and I don't want to break it.
