Missing HD Space... Could it be Trojans

[Fred]

I suspect that someone is stealing space from my
harddrive because 5-6 gigs of space mysteriously
disappeared. I ran spy removal programmes Spybot and spy
sweeper and now about 2 gigs of space has returned to my
HD. Norton disc doctor cannot run a fix, it says that the
OS has exclusive rights to my disc repair. I rebooted my
PC to let windows fix the problem via scan disc but it
could not detect a problem however i find that everytime
i do this I find the number of hidden files increasing.
Can anyone please help me? Email

Aside from the usual jokes about aluminum foil beanies that I'm really
tempted to make, what does a scan with your current antivirus (using
updated definitions) show? Also, do you have hibernation enabled and
how much space do you have allotted for System Restore? Post back with
some system details for more help.
