D: recovery HD full Low memory

Hi last 2 days i have been getting Low Memory messages on my
D: Recovery HD so i turned backup off, and recovery off.
How do i clean it ! or clear all files /they are .bin, and i can't
open them.
I do not have back-up disks or recovery disks.
Disk CleanUp will do what it can with any drive and compact it.
CCleaner will do alot and wipe the free space also.


2007 HP Desktop m8100n
File System: C: and D: both NTFS
System Restore ( OFF) Back UP (OFF)
Crimary HD 420 GB Free of 456 GB
D:Recovery HD 905 MB Free of 8.78 GB
DVD RW Drive (E) CD Drive (G)
+ USB 2.0 removables
MS Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit (SP2)
IE - 8 , MS Office Pro 2007
AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core Processor 5600+
3.0 GB Ram, NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
AT&T Ethernet ADSL Siemens SpeedStream 4100
Avast free,Superantispyware,Spybot S&D free,
SpywareBlaster,Kill2ME,Trend Micro online 7.2
CCleaner Lite, Eusing RegDefrag and Reg Cleaner,
Windows Washer, CleanUP4.5.2,Empty Temp
Index Dat Spy- OldTimer, Win RAR

 

Yes it's about time i figured out how to do a back up disk, i have cd rw and dvd rw.
I have had a few problems last 2 months AVG 2011 Free didn't catch anything and had a few problems, so went with Avast Free and the rest of the
ones posted, it works very well.
I was thinking that somethings on my D: Recovery drive and want fresh back-ups. It filled up quickly in last 2 months and ran out of memory.

 

It sounds like some program is writing to your recovery partition which it shouldn't be doing. Change the folder view on your D: drive to the Details view and take a look at the dates are any of the files much newer than the others? Don't delete anything but just check the dates.

On burning the recovery discs make sure you have enough discs to complete the job because usually you an only burn them once.

 

I blew that test deleated 3 files have one left called .Bin
I changed to detail's
MediaID.bin 2/8/2011 11.13 AM BIN File.
I do not have anything to open a Bin file but saw a few apps that will.
anti virus, malware,bot,rootkit dosen't find anything
Although Avast is "owned by" Confictor worm
Just wondering maybe WWW.deephousepage.com is right
I checked i do have KB 958644 or MS08-067 installed on 10/29/2008
But i am going to run this anyway http://www.bdtools.net/

By the Way i forgot i have IE (9)

The Conficker worm is one of the most dangerous malware threats in years, especially for corporate users. A new "C" variant has been developed that's even more potent and stealthier than the two prior variants. It's imperative that Microsoft's MS08-067 patch be applied to all servers and workstations, while the worm is currently dormant.

If it establishes a foothold anywhere in the network, it can even spread to systems that are patched with the MS08-067, if they are insecure in other areas, (i.e., it uses multiple attack methods).

Please take precautions now, as this one will be even more difficult than "B" was to clean.

Latest Conficker worm gets nastier | Security - CNET News

QUOTE: Just when you might have thought it was safe to start using USB flash drives at work again, the third, and by all accounts, most fiendish version of the Conficker worm that's infected millions of PCs already is set to attack on April 1st, Ars Technica reports. Conficker.C's designed to hide itself even more thoroughly than its older siblings Conficker.A and Conficker.B, using tricks such as:

• Inserting itself into as many as five Windows-related folders such as System, Movie Maker, Internet Explorer, and others (under a random name, of course)
• Creating access control entries and locking the file(s)
• Registers dummy services using a "one (name) from column A, one from column B, and two from column C" method
To find out what happens when Conficker.C strikes, join us after the jump.

Conficker.C's payload makes it harder than ever to recover from being infected:

• Deactivates Windows Security Center notifications
• Prevents restart in Safe Mode
• Prevents Windows Defender from running at system startup
• Deletes all system restore points
• Disables various error-reporting and security services
• Terminates over twenty security-related processes
• Blocks DNS queries
• Blocks access to security and antivirus websites
• And, to top it all off, Conficker.C can choose from a list of 500 domains to contact out of a pool of 50,000 (way up from Conficker.B's 32 out of 250).

An Analysis of Conficker C

QUOTE: Variant C represents the third major revision of the Conficker malware family, which first appeared on the Internet on 20 November 2008. C distinguishes itself as a significant revision to Conficker B. In fact, we estimate that C leaves as little as 15% of the original B code base untouched

Your recovery partition holds the factory restore settings for your Operating System. You don't want to delete anything off of it because you won't be able to recover if your OS doesn't boot one day.

Look in Start>All Programs>PC Help & Tools>"HP PC Recovery CD-DVD Creator" and see if you can still burn your recovery discs. The .bin file may hold all the information necessary to burn the discs and the HP PC Recovery Creator program will know how to use the file.

I don't see what the Confliker worm has to do with burning recovery discs and/or cleaning up your recovery partition?
