About Murray S.
Expertise
I can help with most virus problems from identification to removal.. Can also point you to the better free and shareware anti-virus programs.

Experience
I have been surfing the net and using email for the past umpteen years and have yet to be hit by a virus or trojan in any of my systems on my LAN. Contrary to what some "people" might suggest, most virii can be safely removed and the system restored WITHOUT resorting to a complete re-install of the operating system

Question
lately I've been having a problem with my hard drive filling up quickly with out my having downloaded or added software.  I'm currently using windows 2000 I run I have norton anti virus running and it doesn't come up with anything when I scan.  NOr did adaware.

If you have any leads on what might possibly be causing this I would greatly appreciate any info, thank you.

Answer
Howdy:

Have you tried cleaning out your temp, history, temp internet and cookies folders??

Also, have you checked in Windows Explorer to see if there are any strange folders in there??

Have you checked the add-remove programs option in Control Panel for anything that seems out of place??
