turn on your hidden files and try and find where all the space is being eaten away from

At least widnows updates wasn't the proble. Do I need to remove avast! before I install AVG?

What I'm guessing is that you have 7 GB on your C: Drive and 7 GB on ur D: drive. Try moving some of your files over to the D: drive or when you are downloading and saving new files save it to the D: drive.

use ccleaner to get rid of MS update uninstallers (your choice) and other junk
disable system restore if you never use it

So I scanned the computer with AVG.

All I found was 22 tracking cookies.

Getting kinda desperate here now.

If you only have 7GB left, I would think that it isn't quite big enough. Hard drives are pretty cheap these days, and the extra space will really help performance.
