I have decided to make a thread here because this issue has evolved into something much more than what I initially thought it could have.
Over the course of the past week and a half I have noticed the space on my SSD has been decreasing, and initially I thought it was a pagefile/hibernate issue but I feel now that neither are the case. My C: drive now has 0 bytes, I have ran windirstat to see what's taking up the space.
I see that my Windows files in Winsxs take up the most space, but none of the percentages add up. I've done almost everything that I can to eliminate possible space. And to show for all the hard work, I now have 0 bytes on my drive.
My system is a Toshiba Satellite laptop.
Specs:
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
CPU: Intel Core i3 2330M @ 2.20GHz
RAM: 6 GB
Motherboard: Intel Corp. Base Board Product Name (CPU1)
Hard Drive: 56GB OCZ-VERTEX2 (SSD)
These screenshots show the past two days in great detail. Between the first and second screens I removed the backup files in the winsxs folder. But now I have 0 bytes.
List of software I have ran:
Malwarebytes anti-malware
Combofix
Malwarebytes discovered 3 viruses, one of which was sourced as 'pricegong'. All help is appreciated. In the meantime, I will scan combofix over the course of the next 12 hours and share my log if necessary. Thanks in advance.
