low disk space

[Guest]

windows keeps creating 1.2 Gb files in c:\windows alphabetically created eg
file name=A .
It creates files until all space is gone. files always equal above size. it
does NOT create smaller files.

This certainly sounds like malware of some kind. What AV products do you
run?

System restore can restore the bad stuff too, AV, malware, adware, etc,
scanners can't scan system restore entries..

amounting to on the HDD, your call..
