A virus writing your drive full of nothing. My guess.

try deleting the temporary files. right click on the hard drive in my computer and select properties. under general tab click on disk cleanup. select all the files/folders you wish to delete to free up some potential space.

You can either try to fix it by downloading an antivirus software, or setting it back tof factory default

Planning on buy an ssd and calling Bill Gates to get me bloody product code

Did you by any chance install any new ram? The last time I installed a stick of ram my os setted my pagefile size to a ridiculous amount making my hdd fill itself up down to a few kilobytes. Like you I could retrieve the space with a restart. Once I reset the pagefile size limit back to a normal size my hdd stopped filling itself up.

Nope no new ram waiting for avg to finish and if nothing found then its time to visit ncix and buy me a ssd

No.

 

You first need to determine why so much of your disk is occupied. Otherwise you may end up in a worse position.

 

Have you run disk clean up and does it report a large number of temporary or deleted files?

 

Have you explored the drive to see what is occupying so much space?

 

Have you checked the size of the swap and, if you have one the hibernation file?
