My hard drive space are getting smaller and smaller

[fila]

And it sucks. I'm not doing anything special at all, not downloading, not putting in music or anything.

1 hour ago I maked some space so that the space was 1,25gb.

Now, it's 303 mb.

Does anybody now what my problem is?

Windows Updates maybe? Try turning them off an see what that does. I've had this problem before.
Go to Control Panel > Security Centre > Click automatic updates at the bottom > Click the turn them off tab.

In that case, Windows updates are all the time. I've had this problem for 3 months + now.

I would AVG and AVast on it and see if it picks up anything.

And a strange thing is that I find around 7 gb on the hard drive, and its about 14 gb big. Where are the rest 7gb??

I've tried with spybot and ad-aware. Nothing special found.

I would do an AVG scan, i had a trojan horse once, it ate 2gb and was getting worse avg fixed that though.

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.
