Which occupies all the memory on my hard drive to 500 GB?

Last year, I bought a new computer with 500 GB hard drive and now I barely 48 GB left. I checked all my files and they take no way up to more than 400 GB of space. My internet is incredibly slow. I did a system restore, nothing. I wipe my hard drive, nothing. Check for the presence of virus, nothing. Help. What is the problem and how to fix it.

Thank you

Hello

Are you sure that those are GB and MB not? If you want to keep control of Trend Micro with their support.
Because the files are LOG files and .txt format, they can be deleted however in Trend Micro may
make it again later. Check the change of people dates to see if that helps to determine the cause.

===============================================================

Trend - Micro seems to cause or worsen a large number of questions, so I would like to move on to something more
compatible. Uninstall it and then run the Trend Micro removal tool or check for special
removal on their website instructions to avoid debris that can cause strange problems.

------------------------------------------------------------

Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
Operation of the network.

Prevx - Home - free

Windows Firewall

Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

Protected IE - mode

IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
(It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
right of IE)

Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
disabled - click OK
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
Finish those you don't use).
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
or use Google to see how to remove.
http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
(not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

I hope this helps.

  • How can I check all the errors on my hard drive?

    I was awarded errors on my laptop which is running windows 7 that I might have an idea how to do to check and correct these errors. Thank you

    Hi Grandpa

    Thanks for your posting in Microsoft Community

    You can help solve some computer problems and improve the performance of your computer by making sure that your hard disk has no errors.

    1. Open the computer by clicking on the button start , and then clicking computer.

    2. Right click on the hard drive you want to check, and then click Properties.

    3. Click on the Tools tab and then, under error-checking, click check now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

      To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report a problem, but not to fix them.

      To perform a full disk check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This scan is trying to find and repair physical errors on the hard drive itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

      To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    4. Click Start.

    Depending on the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.

    Old disk 60Go new 320 GB drive.  I want to do the new replacement for the old disk drive.

    Use disk cloning software.

    The safest way is to use an external hard drive enclosure to maintain the new disc during the cloning operation.  These come with interfaces USB or e-SATA to IDE or SATA interfaces for the drive and the computer.  Be sure to get the correct type.  If you have an available internal drive Bay, you can put the new drive it for the cloning operation, but do NOT restart with two connected drives.  After everything was settled down, you can mount the old disk of 60 GB inside, format and use it for storage of backup.

    Cloning (copy to disc) software may have been bundled with your new drive or may be accessed free of charge from the manufacturer of the new command.

    Otherwise, here are a few apps cloning that I have used myself or have been recommended by members of the community:

    Acronis True Image Home

  • transfer all the files from a hard drive to new Hardrive with windows and office suit

    I tried to transer all my programs files again hardrive but without success using easy to migrate acornis.

    Will I need to reinstall Office

    Depends on if you have followed the instructions, immediately after the migration/clone that you will need to shut down the pc, replace the old disk with the new (leave the old disconnected) then restart. Assuming that all is OK, you then stop and connect the origonal HD as a slave, before the abolition of its partitions and then create a new.

    Office "may" need to be repaired, to a certain extent depends on the version.

  • How to transfer iTunes with comments and followed by names, but keep the files of the song on external hard drive?

    I have all of my music stored on an external hard drive. On my old iMac, I have iTunes with all the songs on this hard drive organized or recognized as I like, with comments and play lists and track/song names and album names. How can I transfer iTunes as it is to the old iMac to the new MacMini while leaving the actual files of the song (> 2.5 to) on the external hard drive? In short, I want the old iTunes on my new computer, but the files of the song in the current HD thank you so much.

    (2.66 GHz, 4 GB RAM 20 "iMac; 2014 new Mac Mini)

    Hmmm...   Never tried, but I "think" it should work.   The reader will need to named exactly something on the new computer, as it was on the old.

    1. on the old computer, go to {user folder} / music/iTunes and move the files on the external hard drive.

    2. on the new computer in iTunes, go to Preferences > advanced and not select "copy of the file to the iTunes Media folder.

    3. always in this same window under "iTunes Media folder location", click on change.   Now select the location on the external hard drive, you have moved the files too.

    Files to be copied.

  • Image Viewer does not offer native zoom level unless layout.css.devPixelsPerPx is set to 1.0, which makes all the tiny interface.

    Asked me to shake my question in one sentence, so this is.
    Image Viewer does not offer native zoom level unless layout.css.devPixelsPerPx is set to 1.0, which makes all the tiny interface.

    DevPixelsPerPx is - 1.0 by default, which causes Firefox to scale with the parameter of the BONE, which is perfectly fine. The problem is that it causes also open image files and especially the zoom level, nationwide also identical to the user interface. A zoom level is adapted to the screen, the other is native. (One is a magnifying glass with a '+', the other a '-'.) Or rather, the other * should * be native, but in practice, it is not native, is climbed by the setting of the BONE, making it as arbitrary and fuzzy like any other level of zoom, which defeats the whole point and does not allow access to a native scaling in any reasonable way.

    If you want to experiment, here is something you can try, a bookmarklet that inserts a 'Native' button on the page. It takes into account your level of "net" zoom current and reduced the image natural dimensions.

    (1) select and copy the following script:

    javascript:var btn=document.createElement('button'); btn.style.cssFloat='right'; btn.appendChild(document.createTextNode('Native')); document.body.insertBefore(btn, document.body.firstChild); btn.addEventListener('click', function(){var img=document.querySelector('img');img.style.transform='scale('+(1/window.devicePixelRatio)+')';}, false); void 0;

    (2) right-click a task on your bookmarks bar or, if you do not display this bar, click on the bookmarks menu button and right click a place there, and then click new bookmark

    (3) paste the script in the location line

    (4) assign a name like native, and then click Add a bookmark

    While you look at a picture, click the bookmark (let) to inject the button. Then click on the button to resize the image.

    Success?

    If you change the zoom level of the 'page', click on the new button to resize it due to the change.

  • What is the maximum size of hard drive, which can be installed in a pavilion d4790y desktop computer?

    What is the maximum size of hard drive, which can be installed in a desktop pavilion d4790y?

    It would be a secondary drive, not the boot drive.

    The operating system is Vista Home Premium, 32-bit.  The version of the BIOS is 5.08.

    Are there any changes or upgrades that would allow an internal hard drive 3 TB to install?

    Here are the specifications and configurable options for your desktop HP Pavilion d4790y and here are the specifications of its card mother P5BW - THE (Basswood2). Based on the specifications and the age of the computer, I would expect you to use a hard drive 3 TB as a secondary drive on Windows Vista (DISPLACEMENT SP1 or SP2) and Windows 7. Formatted as MBR would require the drive to use with a minimum of two partitions. Formatted as GPT would require only a single partition. In no case will you be able to use the 3 TB as a boot device drive because your computer does not support a UEFI BIOS that allows booting from a GPT formatted disk. No changes or updated should be held.

  • The automatic update Windows Vista just eliminated all my files on my hard drive

    Last night, I closed my laptop with the ability to install the business Windows vista update (as I usually do when there are updates available).

    When I turned on the laptop this morning (May 17, 2013), he went through the usual update and installation.

    However, when it finished I noticed that the Office was clean (not so many icons on the screen). Then, I went into Firefox and noticed that all my favorites have disappeared - I imagine the same for Internet Explorer and Opera too (although I haven't checked). Then, I went into My Documents and noticed nothing - all my files on my hard drive (with the exception of programs and software dreamweaver for example microsoft, office, etc) were totally wiped out.

    It is serious - help!

    Fortunately, you can restore all your data files from backups that you do on a regular basis.

    It's the normal advice I'd give to record data; but we have no idea of the State of your hard drive.

    Saving your files:

    You can remove the hard drive and put it in a hard drive USB enclosure > plug it into another computer > and try to read and copy your data in this way.

    Or, you can download Knoppix > make a bootdisk to > start your system with it (IF your material is all work) > and copy your data from the hard drive like that.
