Re: Overloaded Recovery Drive in Vista

Several days ago, I began receiving the message that my recovery (D) drive was nearing capacity, which is true--almost all of the 9.9GB is full. I have a feeling that I have picked up some malware or other virus, and things have been duplicated perhaps. I've run Spybot Search & Destroy, Malwarebytes AntiMalware, SuperAntiSpyware (free edition), nothing is reported, there is no improvement. I'm working on a Dell laptop, running Vista Home Premium and have a wireless connection to the modem. I'm PRETTY good w/computers and the jargon and VERY good at following directions, and am looking forward to fixing the problems myself and learning about my 'brain'. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

 

here are the logs, after running the scans...

if the problem IS with the recovery partition, how do i increase it's size?

also, what is the recovery drive supposed to contain? i've looked there, and there were alot of files in the 'backup set' folder, which i deleted. now, it contains only a 'catalogues' folder. deleting the other backup files gave me enough room in the d: drive, for the computer to function much better. currently, the d: drive has '3.30 gb free of 9.99 gb', which is much less free room than before i had this problem.

thanks...
