For the last two weeks or so my hard drive has been shrinking dramatically in size. I had over 20gb of free space two weeks ago and have not downloaded any new programs/music etc. This morning i've been having warnings of critically low drive space and now regularly have 0kb of hd space left. Please can anyone help. Thanks.

I fixed all the following entries and deleted all system restore points up to the current one. Ran clean manager but repeatedly crashed. Ran Combofix and got the same file i sent you before.

I'll be away on holiday from three o clock to today until sunday so i'm not too sure what to do.

How much free disk space do you have? If it's less than 50MB, you need to find ways to free some space. You may transfer files out of the machine using a usb drive or burning them onto a CD. Without ample space, there's no way we can load any tool for the cleanup.

Kindly post a fresh Hijackthis log in your next reply
