Hard disk full without reason

Hi everybody
few days ago something very strange happened on my laptop.
While I was viewing some videos on youtube with Firefox, suddenly I had the windows message telling me that my HD was full and I that I should start the cleaning and file removal tool. I did not run the tool and when I opened the explorer to check for the space on C, instead of 60% of free space that I usually have on the HD, it was effectively almost full.
The problem then disappeared as soon as I closed Firefox and Chrome (that was opened at the same time but idle) and my hard disk went back on the normal state, giving me again the 60% of free space.
Worried about this weird behavior, I scrupulously followed the instruction found on your great Malware Removal/Cleaning Procedure.
All the cleaning tools run without problem and now I have a bunch of logs that I would like to submit for further inquiry, hoping that someone can help to understand them better.
I have a windows vista SP2 on a sony Vaio laptop.
Thank you very much for your help.

 

Hi, thanks for your answer.
You'll find attached the requested logs.
I would like also to have an aswer to the fact that, after having run the malware removal tools, I have now on my desktop 2 files named destop.ini:
the 1st one on my user desktop with the following contents:

Code:

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21769
IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-183
[LocalizedFileNames]
Windows Media Player.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\unregmp2.exe,-4
services.lnk=@%systemroot%\system32\filemgmt.dll,-2204
Windows Explorer.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-22067

and the other one on the Public\Desktop with the following contents:

Code:

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21799
[LocalizedFileNames]
Microsoft Office - 60 Day Trial.lnk=@C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~4\mui\oaa.dll,-103

There is also a third one, but empty, on my users folder under
\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Network Shortcuts

I have also on my desktop a folder named "RK_Quarantine" with 2 files on it: PhysicalDrive0_User.dat and RogueKiller.ini

Is all this normal, can I delete them or just ignore them ?

Thank you for your answer

 

Actually the three desktop.ini files came out when I set the hidden file visualization to off.

 

Hi, yes my HD space came back to the normal free space (around 60%) as soon as I closed Firefox and Chrome, which I was using at the time the HD became full without reason, I mean that I was not doing anything special whe it became full, I was just watching some videos on youtube when that happened.
This is quoted on my first message, but maybe I did not explain the situation very well ( fault of my english, sorry).

I came here for help because I thought the cause of that was a malware or a virus.
Did you find anything on my logs? Virus or malware?

I will follow your instructions you gave me in your last reply.
Thanks

 

Good, this is a relief....

I run the last tools as you suggested and this is the result:

After running OTM, I reboot as requested. Because I had forgotten to print out your instructions, I opened Google Chrome to read the next instruction you gave me and when I closed Chrome to lunch CCClenear I received a BSOD.

So I restarted my laptop and lunched CCleaner.
I also lunched JRT who gave me this message in the first run:

I rebooted as requested and JRT finished to complete its job without problem.

GetLogs.bat run without problem as well.

Now I have a question for you:

I noticed that the logs inside the MGlogs.zip file, specially the "newFiles.txt" contains a lot of sensitive data about my system and I am wonder if it is reasonable, from a point of view of security and privacy, to send all these information here, where everybody can read them.

thanks again for you help.

 

yes, I would prefer, thanks

 

Thank you very much for your help,
I will follow the instructions on "How to Protect yourself from malware!"
to avoid problems again.
Can you please also remove the other logs I sent in the previous post as they contain sensitive information as well.
thanks, cheers

All the logs there contain info about my OS, User name, access rights etc..
Maybe I am paranoid, but I do not think they should not be on public domain, do you?

thanks
