I have bought an ACER Aspire 4315 Vista. Since I bought it i lose sometimes one or two gigabytes withouth reason.
I only have on the C drive 13 Gig left and on the D drive 21 Gig. On the D drive the ACER Empower use it for back up.
What could be the reason and how to fix this?.
I use Kaspersky as antivirus.

Greateful for an answer
 
if you have service pack one installed then run the cleaner.

to do go to run and type in cmd>vsp1cln.exe and then hit Y for yes and that gets rid of about 1 gig of crap not needed from SP1 installation.

Run the disk cleanup utility wizard.(right click on c:\properties)
it will probably show tons of space occupied by "per user qeued up error files" or "error dump files".
I was too worried about that some times ago, for the whereabout of almost 40GB on C: which was used by error files. I cleaned it and gained all the 40GB space.

Or some space can be sccupied by restore points also. use a utility(eg, tuneup utility 2009, to clean unneccessary restores.

Turning on 'hibernation Mode' aslo takes up 1-2 GB of space.
 
So basically your hard drive is filling up automatically? One of our regulars had a virus like that once and it looks like someone else is having the same problem... try what Respital said to do in that thread before going further.
