New Member Posts: 6 OS: Windows XP	Well. The other day, I had less then... around 2 gigabytes(Heh...), but earlier today, I had 21.2 megabytes. And it's slowly decreasing, bit by bit. Even though I haven't downloaded anything the past month. Is this situation weird? Nah~ I suspect that a virus has entered my computer and is duplicating itself in files, in hopes that I will send a file which contains the virus and spread it around more. Therefor, taking up space. Although I may be exaggerating, I highly doubt that this isn't the case. I have Windows XP and Service Pack 2. Any suggestions, or tips are appreciated. -Oi.
