    I have a 250gb HD and about 50gb free, but after 30 minutes or so after I restart my PC, my hard drive starts working like a time bomb and starts decreasing slowly until it reaches 0kb and windows says i have no space left on HD and nothing else will work until i restart my computer again.

    I know i have LOTS of free space because I deleted a lot of my stuff.

    Ran Windows Essentials, Avast, Trend Micro. Numerous malware cleaners, registry fixers...

    Please take a look at the logs. Appreciate any help I could get.

    Thanks guys!

    You are showing this amount of space left:
    Code:
    Size    223.08 GB (239,531,413,504 bytes)    
    Free Space    25.60 GB (27,483,930,624 bytes)
    You need to uninstall Messenger Plus! Live.

    Then use windows explorer to find and delete:
    C:\Users\Filipe\AppData\Local\Threat Expert

    I suggest you pursue this in the software forum as I am not seeing any malware in your logs.

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

    1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no real time protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
    2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
      • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
      • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.


    3. Go back to step 6 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    6. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of the READ ME
        for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.

    10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

    Thanks for the reply, but Yeah, it shows 25gb because it keeps decreasing, like a timer...

    Lots of reasons for that.....page file, updates, new restore points, etc. Plus a lot of items in your temp folders. Again, post in the software forum for some additional guidance on what you can remove. Do make sure you have uninstalled/removed Messenger Plus! Live.
