Legend
I noticed that my computer was running low on space, and that it had added spontaneously about 500 MB of files. I tried first to check for viruses, etc., but it didn't help. The computer was making a lot of 'thinking' noises (y'know, the little brring that comes when the hard drive is working), and I eventually noticed on My Computer that the hard drive was filling up at a rate of about a meg per second. Panicking, I started randomly closing programs on Task Manager, and eventually I discovered that svchost.exe was apparently the responsible program. When I killed it, the space-eating stopped.
So, I'm afraid to restart my computer, in case the program starts up again and fills up my entire hard drive. I need help to save my computer.
I'm using Windows XP, on an HP Pavilion.
I checked the Windows help, and it suggested I download the newest 'RSA ACE/Agent for Windows.' I found the website that provides this, but I don't want to randomly download something if I don't know what it does.
I really hope someone here can assist me. I love this computer, and I don't want to lose it.
