My hard drive keeps filling up when i empty it. Mcafee & skybot can find nothing. I've tried downloading some of the fices, but have a problem of either no space or it tells me that the software is not a vaid win32 application.:mad:
I had a very similar issue recently. It wasn't a virus, but some badly misbehaving software. I would suggest you run msconfig and turn off everything at startup that you're not sure you 100% need immediately.
If this cures the issue you can then re-enable stuff gradually to diagnose exactly what is giving you the issue.
If you're really convinced it's a virus then maybe MS Onecare's online scanner could help. http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm

Use a hard drive visualiser to find where the errant files are:

Ran the online scanner & seems to have done the trick:). Cheers!!
