So i had spyware and malware on my pc the other day, and i made a full scan with microsoft security essentials. It couldn't get rid of the virus so i installed mbam and it got rid of that. So when i had the virus active, i saw a message saying that my hard drive is almost full or something like that. It shouldn't be. Virus filled it up somehow. How do i get rid of those files? Thanks..

Hi Traxas, can you download and run SpaceSniffer to determine exactly what folder is taking up so much space? Obviously a good malware cleaning is in order but I am curious what folder is taking up your space. I have seen viruses in the past constantly wright to a folder continuously until your hard drive fills up.
