    I have been getting the error "C:\$Mft use chkdsk" today at random. After reading a bit, I decided to check my free space on my computer. 111 GB is my total space, while 92 is being used at 19 is free. A couple weeks ago the numbers were virtually reversed and I have no idea how that much memory has been taken up. Also, about a month ago, my computer has had to go through the blue check disk screen every time it boots up, and ever since the Mft error, it has stopped in the middle saying its getting an error. I'm completely lost, and would appreciate any advice and help.

    sounds like a maleware/spyware infection of the major kind to me. I would reformat and start fresh.
