HELP i have a pcg-k315m, since yesterday i noticed i had only 100m free on my c-drive, so i cleaned it up to 3gb, today it only had 78mb free and it's going down by the minute. I checked with ad-aware and norton, but didn't find anything. i even cleaned temps and recovery files.What's going on with my hdd? and what should i do!!
That is definitely un-normal, and I have no idea in this moment.:smileysad:
If there are files being created or modified then we need to know the names of some of them to try & tie down what the issue is.
Are you making DVDs?
Are you using Photoshop a lot?
mmmh, Photoshop deletes his temp files, if you turn off Photoshop.
That's not the problem.
But true, the names of the modified files are interesting.
found something: there's a file called : vsmon.exe-39246213.pf in windows\prefetch, according to zonealarm the file vsmon.exe (without 39246 etc) should ONLY be found in \system32, when i delete the file in prefetch , it keeps coming back. could this be the thing?and if so, how do i get rid of the little bugger!!
If your Adware scanner is picking nothing up, and my guess is that you do have something nasty on your hard disk, then I suggest that you try a support forum such as TSF
You will find plenty of help and guidance there.

Open Windows search and then tick the Advanced box. Choose to search for all files created since you last cleaned up the drive and then search all your drives. Sort the results by size and see if any very large files are there.
I must admit off the top of my head I'm a bit stumped.
