    Default Full hard drive virus

    I have a problem with my pc, what happens is that the hard drive is full and just get a message saying that it is little hard drive space I have left and only a few kb, the first thing I did is find the folder on the hard disk it takes more memory, and saw that it was the folder "program data" on the address c: \ documents and settings \ all users \ application data of the program, then delete some files from my documents to free memory, but unique is that it achieves the "program data" increase in size and that is why I think it is a virus because it occupies more than 15GB and would like to know if anyone knows what and how can I remove it.

    You go to Start -> Run, type% temp% and delete its contents.

    If you have installed the ipod, you probably made many downloads, and also saves the Ares download everything in that direction....

    I need your answer as to whether it is the full Ares downloads and I'll tell you how to solve it...

    I do not have games or other similar program, that folder is just that every time you delete files to free memory increases in size until only a few kb me of when I'm working with some programs not having disk space and locks and I have to close. Something else happens and I think it is the same virus is that it shows me the hidden files, every time I show hidden files not shown.

    Ok, then install a good antivirus (recommends the you or the Eset NOD32 Antivirus Eset Smart Security, out of doubt that if viruses, or better said, if you have an antivirus like the panda or the Norton I do not trust, then it indicates that you are not running antivirus! Install one of the two that I recommend, then updating virus and wipe out everything you find (ah one thing, Eset nod32 if a virus, send it to quarantine, there are not doing anything, so when detected, you're going to quarantine and delete it because it is as if I delete a file and send it to recycle bin, not me! There will free disk space!, that there must remove root) You may provide something ... Tell us ...
