OK that may be a malware infection that i will need to have you take care of but I will do what I can here first to help.

First thing is we need to clean up the temp and useless files that are taking up space on your system.

 

Download Autoruns from the link in my signature below:

1: Extract the Autoruns Zip file contents to a folder.
2: Double-click the  "Autoruns.exe".
3: Click on the "Everything" tab
4: Click the Options at the top of the Window. In the new little window click the box that states Hide Microsoft Services  
5: Go to File then to Export As or Save in some versions.
6: Save the file as AutoRuns.txt file instead of the default .arn to a known location like your Desktop.
7: Attach to your next reply.
8: DO NOT do anything till we have had a chance to study the log and reply with suggestions as to what to remove.

Open Autoruns, click on "Logon" tab, and UN-check:
 

+ "SelectRebates"

+ "vProt"

+ "AvgRemover"

When done restart computer and then:



Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop

• Please double-click TFC.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
• It will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
• Click the Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two.  Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
• Once it's finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.

Download Auslogics Defrag from the link in my signature below. Auslogics Defrag in my opinion is better because:

It does a more comprehensive job at Defragging
It will actually show you what it is doing
At the end of working it will show you how much speed you picked up
You can view a online log of the files that Auslogics defragged

Please do not run any other Auslogics programs other then this one as they may cause unwanted results.

I don't think you went far enough because it looks like you didn't click on storage on the left to see the actual drives on the right window.

[shajoe44]

[rshaffer61]

Still not far enough. Now click on the line that says "Disk Management" on the left and let the large window populate. Then make sure everything can be seen on the right wight window and get a new screenshot.

What I need to see is like the picture below.

Perfect that is what I was looking for. Your drive looks great for free space now at 78%.

Did it take TLC and defrag long to complete?

[shajoe44]

Not too long.

[rshaffer61]

OK how is the system running now after all this?
