What is flooding my hard drive?

I am facing a problem with my computer. I use Windows 8 on a PC HP Pavilion. Over the last few months, something has been dumping files in a temporary file (. C / users/username/AppData/Local/Temp). These files are put in a file labeled with hexadecimal code in brackets {30371D42-8250-4BD8-B8F4-6CD73F91F832}. All files in this folder are labeled the same way with the hex codes in square brackets which is {BA18F667-9F63-467A-90E4-A23C8A3EFBF0}. In these files there as default files, PepperFlash, pnacl, SwiftShader, Extensions, WidevineCDM, GPUCache, etc.. Initially, the amount of data was around 2 GB per day set on my hard drive, now these files will be integrated with about 5 GB per day. It's that affect my computer's performance, slow things down and forcing me to delete large amounts of data on a daily basis. After some research, I discovered that this folder was created when I downloaded some freeware that came with Search protect led. It's a pretty nasty job, and it took me several days to get rid of him. However disc flood continued even after removing the protect research. I tried to disable the indexer of cache, but the flooding continued. I looked through many different forums looking for people with similar questions, but most of the advice look like gibberish to me. I am not competent is to write code so that you might have to walk me through the process, if that's what it takes to solve this problem. I would be very happy to help.

In fact, I managed to find a solution for my problem. The culprit was not protect research (although I'm happy to get rid of it), but another piece of malware labeled i. d. l. e. c. r. a. w. l. e. r., who resided in another temp folder. The discovery process launched by past for the the Task Manager, click on the performance tab, then passes to the option at the bottom of this window open resource monitor. Looking at the log of the disk activity I noticed the folder increasing in question very often appear in the column leader. Under the image column, I found that there was this thing called chrome.exe who created all of the activity. After some research on the chrome.exe image online. I downloaded Security Task Manager, then ran this program who informed me that chrome.exe was associated with the idlecrawler malware. The malware could not be removed, so I had to use Revo Uninstaller to perform a forced uninstall of idlecrawler. I also had to do even forced uninstall research protect for the same reason. The flood of data stopped and my computer runs much better now. I guess I just need to pay attention to all kinds of freeware, that I can be interested in download in the future.

What is the largest hard drive or the RAID supported by El Capitan and Yosemite?

What is the largest hard drive or the RAID supported by El Capitan and Yosemite? Also, WHERE can I find this specification? Drobo claims that 16 TB is the largest external RAID supported and I do not.

FYI............ 2 UPDATES since I posted this question:

"1. Drobo has updated their FIRMWARE to allow now to 'beyond' 64 power to RAID". Thus, their original 16 TB limit has now been replaced by their new limit of 64 to. Also note that when you use a Drobo, Apple Mac OS does correctly shows space 'Drive' and the 'free space', if the Drobo 16TB exceeds the size; but the Application DashBoard of Drobo displays the correct numbers. For example, my Drobo 5 d contains 5, 8 TB disks, for a total size beyond 40 to RAID (theoretically, since most of us should know, now, that the ACTUAL SIZE IS SLIGHTLY SMALLER than THE THEORETICAL SIZE). AVAILABLE FOR USE ACTUAL SIZE IS ONLY 28.9 TB. Thus, 40-28, 9 = 11.1 TB gets used in place for the PROTECTION of RAID beyond and the difference between REAL SPACE and SPACE THEORY. It IS NORMAL because any RAID 5 device always uses about 1 size of hard drive for its Protection. So, knowing this, the DeskTop icon showing 28.9 TB disk space and free space as everything that is not yet used. However, instead, the Mac OS shows 70,37 TB disk space and free space like 68,37 TB, which are both incorrect. Although I'd love it if Mac OS has been magically increase my disk space, in fact, these two numbers are false. Drobo knows this, and Apple has not, in my discussions with both. So I hope, between the two companies, that this problem can be corrected.

2. after many hours on the phone with Apple Support, through no less than 6 people including 2 senior advisers, NONE OF THEM COULD ANSWER MY QUESTION ON CE WHO IS MAXIMUM ALLOWED HARD DRIVE or RAID SPACE AUTHORIZED BY Yosemite and El Capitan. For me, THIS IMPORTANT FACT SHOULD SIMPLY BE LISTED IN THE OS SPECIFICATION TECHNIQUE, it's quick and easy to read on the Support Site. But Apple is the new bureaucracy, they are, I don't see what is happening any time soon. So, be aware that, for now, HE IS No. LIMIT ON SIZE, as an Apple adviser said; but could not confirm in writing; and, IT IS AN INCORRECT DISPLAY SIZE AND FREE SPACE, if your drive is greater than an unknown 16 + TB in size. Note that I have 3 other RAIDs that are properly in place showing that 9 TB, TB 12 and 18 to size; but I do not know how the SIZE IS IMPORTANT to ensure that the operating system display it correctly, except for my Drobo TB 40. So, the bottom line, somewhere between to 18 and 40 to is where he goes wrong, in its display of sizes.

What capacity of the HARD drive in 1670CDS

New, I HAV Satellite 1670CDS with Phoenix BIOS ver. A 1.07.
My drive HARD broked down. I have to buy a new one. What capacity of the HARD drive will be detected BIOS corectly? How many GB of hard drive I can buy?

Thank you very much.

Hello

This kind of information can give you just authorized partner. I found the info your device comes with 6 GB of HARD drive. Am I wrong?

I'm sure you can use 10 or even 12 GB of HARD drive without any problem. If you want to use more than capacity, it is possible that it will not be recognized by the BIOS.

I found an offereor which has guaranteed that even at 30 or 40 GB hard drives can be used on older models, but the BIOS should be handled with the special tool and is not for free.

Good bye

I can't say what's on my hard drive and what is in my iCloud

I'm trying to free up hard drive space and storage iCloud added. Unfortunately, I'm unable to see exactly what is on my hard drive. I don't have duplication, but to delete almost everything on my hard drive.

Help?

iCloud is geared towards sharing between devices and is not designed for cloud storage only. Everything you place in iCloud Drive will also keep a copy of your MacBook. You can save possibly reduce the space required on your Mac if you use iCloud photo library by going to the preferences of Photos and turn on "Optimize Mac storage" but which only applies to photos and will be possible only if space is needed.

There are 3 third-party services like Dropbox and OneDrive that have options for cloud storage only.

What is the largest hard drive that will work in dv6324us laptop computer?

What is the largest hard drive that will work in a HP Pavilion dv6324us laptop?

Hello:

Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01035677.PDF

Support for HARD drives and capacities are listed in Chapter 3, page 3-25.

Personally, I think you could install a SATA II 320 GB to your laptop. Maybe even a 500 GB.

You could also probably install a drive of 7 200 rpm for better performance or if the battery life between charges is more important for you, then stick with a disk of 5 400 rpm.

What happens to my hard drive using the 'sleep'?

Hello

Could u please let me know what happens on my drive hard when I put it in mode 'sleep'? It stops altogether? or maybe just slows down?
WIndows 7 operating system
Satellite A660 - 18

A power saving of operation in which all unnecessary components are closed. Many devices running on batteries, such as laptops, supports a standby mode. When a laptop goes into sleep mode, it stops the screen and hard drive. Once awakened, the computer returns to its previous status of operation.

Yes, the HARD disk stops altogether, but after turning on your laptop, you can continue your work.
Launch multiple applications and use the key combination FN + F3 to mode 'sleep'. After a few minutes, press power button / stop and you will see what happens.

What is the large hard drive Satellite A30 supports

Satellite A30-514 P4 2.8 GHz/WXP HE/512 MB / 30 GB/15TFT/DVD-CD-RW. I have the latest bios update and only I can see downloads for this machine. I have a 30 GB drive. I look at the model 100 GB or 80 GB. This model supports these formats. Some of these new hitachi drives have also a ata supplys data cable and power. Someone know if this laptop supports this connection or are these two cables. As I have yet a glance. Any advice on what type of player to use will be much appreciated.

Hi Mike,.

I have a 80 GB hard drive in my A30 at the moment. You will need a player with similar physical dimensions as your drive existing. Cables are not a problem because the drive on the A30 is connected directly to a connector under the optical drive (this should be removed first to access the hard drive.

An appropriate drive would be the MK8025GAS but you could also take the option to use a car with a higher rotation speed. The original drive is 4200 RPM and I am currently using a version of 5400 RPM in my A30. There is a little extra heat, but this is really noticeable during heavy disk activity (anti-virus, Defrag, backup, etc.).

Kind regards

What is using my hard drive?

I have an iMac with 500 GB of storage, and when I go on my Mac-> storage, it says that I have 358GB of "Other" and I have no idea what it is. About a year ago, I had about 200 GB of 'Other', and since then I downloaded barely any more things that must use within storage. I record and edit videos much, so I used to have a lot of 'Movies' Ballyhoo to the top of my hard drive, but I just cleaned all my videos, including the library of iMovie and also deleted all my projects iMovie, but who have released all the space at all. I don't know what all these 'Other' stuff, because I do not use iPhotos, iTunes, and I have not all backups. No idea what it could be? Thanks in advance!

Envy DV7: What size/form factor hard drive is in my laptop?

Good evening.

Well, my desire for two year, died the other day care of overheating the chronic problems that seem struck Envys at this time. My block of cooling died beforehand, that was probably the cause of the rise in temperature. Yep, that burning smell of rubber from the exhaust vents was kind of present that something was wrong, as well as the characters of ding strange wing that the display has been put in place and the intense heat of the keyboard who suddenly developed. Unfortunately, it was out of warranty. I really liked this PC, too.

In any case, I would remove the hard disk that is inside to retrieve the data using an external hard drive enclosure but I need to know what size or form factor of the hard drive is to buy the appropriate forum. I guess it's a 2.5-inch form factor. Is this correct?

Thank you very much

Bob

Yes, it is 2.5 inches. You can just buy SATA TO USB adapter:

Thanks for your replies!

Hello

Your machine has no place to add more HARD drive

What external case for HARD drive do I need for my Portege 2010

I have a corrupted windows XP, but fear using the repair option due to the large number of photos of my children who have yet to be backed up or displayed in a photo etc store.

I found that you can buy a hard drive enclosure that can then be used via the USB port to download these important files before any repair option. I bought a standard encolsure 2.5 "from Maplin but the connection is a woman on both ends (enclosure and hard drive) and a few shorter pins on the drive of Toshiba wants the encolsure.
How I progress - my wife won't let me live if I can't get these photos off the coast and professional background should not be necessary.

Help!

Hi Andrew

Problem is that your Portege has 1.8 HDD and I found just this page where you can pick up some http://www.addonics.com/products/io/aks218ide.asp Info

I hope that you will be able to backup your data.

Good luck!!!
