Disk Usage Spikes

[Ryth_cs]

Hey,

I am helping a friend with their PC and I have noticed that his disk usage spikes to 100% every 30 secs or so.

Mine doesn't do this and I have multiple programs open whereas he has none and nothing on the system tray.

How do I stop these spikes?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

unless these spikes are effecting performance, i wouldn't worry 

but if would help if you run crystaldiskinfo to diagnose any drive specific issues

Open up event viewer, resource manager, task manager see what is going on.

some kind of malware disguised as a small file. when opened it raises havoc and fills the drive. it's called some kind of "bomb", literally. but I can't remember what.... and it isn't "logic". and it does migrate from disc to disc even if another drive or that drive is installed in tandem on another machine.
