Windows Vista PC keeps filling the disk space
Windows Vista PC keeps filling the disk space, but programs like Treesize and Windows Explorer are not all of the additional files.
The disc has about 45 GB of files, but the 220 GB drive is almost full. I suspect that a program will create orphaned files. CHKDSK is currently suspended from the second pass. Will try to run until the end of the day to the next.
I turned on the hidden files and protected, it is not that I can't see the files. What can account for 150 + GB of invisible disk space? Indexing of Windows seems to be active, although the C drive was marked to not be indexed.
I know that a temporary internet file (content.ie5) is doubly hidden. Who had only 50 MB in it, so it's not the culprit. Any other hidden super-fichiers that everyone knows.
Running Trend Micro PC-Cillin. The history of this creation of orphaned files?
All the tools that look right at the MFT to see what is using the disk space and the avoidance of the directory tree?
This isn't a matter of a few directories being wholesale, or clean old files. The space used is not anywhere to be found.
Already run cleaning ccleaner and disk. Empty temporary files, Recycle Bin, etc. Only restore point. Registry clean with ccleaner.
Never did anything on computer that could use 150 GB of space.
If you look at just the computer, you can see disappearing disk space (maybe 1 GB an hour).
Always seems to happen if you disconnect from the internet.
Friend PC, so I did not have immediate access to it.
Whence the free number 'space '? I'm just that an orphan file will not be displayed in a search in directories or with Treesize, but will use up to 'free space '?
No sign of a virus.
Hello
Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?
I suggest to refer to the article and try to defragment the hard disk:
Improve performance by defragmenting your hard drive
I understand that you have already scanned the hard drive with anti-virus software, although I suggest you try to run an online scan and check if it helps:
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
Let us know if it helps.

Windows does not keep appearing
Everything takes forever to appear, and then crashes (Explorer does more or windows does not) keeps coming back. It happens on any site that I'm on also on hotmail. I downloaded the latest windows updates and do a virus check (I have Norton 360) but nothing seems to make any difference. Can someone advise please because I'm not very good with any technical problems. I looked at how to solve windows problems, but they all do a scan and then want to remove money problems! Thank you

Hello
First of all, make sure that your system is clean:
using the analysis
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/ (recommended)
If you have anti antivirus program update it and run full scan or if you do not get this one:
AVG Free http://www.avg.com/gb-en/download-free-anti-virusNote that anti virus as Noroton and Mcafee tend to slow down your pc at startup and to work with your pc so if other steps has not helped your case, consider switching to other anti virus.
Do using the analysis:
http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/EEK/ recommended
You can run it from memory stick too.
"It is recommended to perform all analysis in safe mode.
Make sure your system is clean first. use ccleaner to get rid of junkfiles http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download
Make sure your windows is uptodate and drivers work correctly and that they are as uptodate.
Try to clean boot to see which program is causing your pc run slow or unresponsive
Statement here:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353
Basically, it must disable all startup items and services of NONE-Windows through msconfig, and then restart your pc and then put it in standby or idle mode and see if the problem is resolved?
Try to run less program in your startup, minimize your startup program. You can do this either by using the msconfig tool / ccleaner.
Make sure you drive for errors. Perform disk clean up and Defrag using windows tools.
Test your windows files
