I got the warning that my hard drive space has fallen below the minimum. So I deleted a gig of information from the recycling bin.
I then look at my Disk space and it showed that I had 1.02GB of free space.

Now every 30 seconds of so the free space drops until it gets all the way down to 10.0KB.

Does anyone knows whats going on here? I update norton's anti-virus through live update and did the scan and it said there was no virus.

I don't know what to do now. Any suggestions?

yeah this is most likely you hard disk is so fragmented the Page Flip memory is filling up quickly...

run Scandisk and Defrag Disk ( defrag around 3x to actually get a full defrag, for some reason XP Defrag decides never fully defrag :/ )

if that all fails, backup your work and reinstall because it'll be likely there is a new virus on there that Norton can't detect on its own.

Thanks! It seems like the defrag did the job.
