Hi,
I've been getting an error message saying my hard drive is running low on
space. When I investigated the problem I found that the folder
C:\Windows\System32 is taking up 19.7GB of space. What's up with that?
Anyone know how I fix it?

Ooh, that's not right! My XP Pro System32 folder is 1.18GB. Check for
malware and then go through the usual maintenance steps.
