A couple weeks ago I tried to download the anti-virus software from my ISP. As the page to do this opened I noticed "Free online scan" and "click here" somewhere on the page. I followed the prompt and after that went on to download the program I'd originally intended to download. I had been backing up my files on an external drive and I checked to see how much space I had on my hdd. To my amazement, half my hdd space had disappeared. I have a 200GB hdd, after backing up my pics movies etc. I should have about 100GB left. Unfortunately I only had 50+GB remaining!! I forgot to do a restore at that point instead, I panicked and had been trying other methods to solve the problem. When I remember restore it was too late. Someone..., help me out here. Where did the space go?? Will Vista Optimizer help?? ...or how can I regain the space I've lost??

Thanking you for an early response.
