View Full Version : Hard Disc space is reducing mysteriously

Spybot Version: 2.4 Home Edition
Windows Version: Windows Vista 32-bit

I am constantly losing disk space without logical reason. No one else uses the computer.
For weeks I have had to regularly use Microsoft "Disc Cleanup" but then the process re-starts and I lose about 10 Gb per day.

I use Disc Cleanup's option of removing everything prior to the last restore point. Twice a week I create a new restore point and then do a cleanup.
I think I have a virus as my downloads off the internet rarely reach 2 GB per month.

I have used Windows (Vista) Explorer "Advanced Search" looking for large files and/or files new or modified since a recent date (Including system files) but can see nothing suspicious.

It seems to happen when the system sleeps or when the screen saver is in use. The system comes out of "Sleep" by itself so when I open the laptop the screen saver is already running and I don't have to "wake" the system up.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Still need help?

I have run the JRT 3 times and after about 7 hours the disc activity stops. I rechecked 2-3 hours later and no change. JRT's last print was "Checking Shortcuts" on each of the 3 attempts.

Note: Obviously I don't watch the process continuously so I don't know when it stalled each time.

Possibly it was my fault as I may have not properly shutdown Spybot. I am reasonably confident about Windows Security as Windows Defender was definitely off.

With Spybot I went to its System Services tab and turned off the 3 choices. When I returned to Spybot this morning I saw that the Ticks on Spybots opening page were in fact still on.

Since then I have searched and searched but cannot find how to temporarily shut Spybot down.

I wrongly assumed FRST created Fixlist.txt automatically so I wasted a lot of time until I realised it was waiting for me to choose possibly bad files and paste them to a new Fixlist.txt. Quite bravely I got rid of some files this way as you will see on the fixlog.txt.

I notice that my print screen function is not working right now.

I often get advice from Spybot about a second user with the program. Is this report caused by part of the problem? There is only one user, me. Perhaps if there was another user they might be more experienced and keep me out of trouble.

I really appreciate your patience with me being such a novice at this.

New reports attached.

Sorry, but the instructions did not match current Spybot.

I used Advanced Tools - Settings - Live Protection - Mode - Advanced Controls and pressed "Deactivate Live Protection".

Response was this message "The Live Protection System Driver could not be deactivated. You can uninstall and reboot..."

The Start Centre page of Spybot is now showing "Live Protection: Partial".

I will uninstall in 20 hours and proceed with Malwarebytes Anti Malware unless you say otherwise.

Thanks

I have run JRT and Malwarebytes Anti Malware and their logs are attached. Nothing that I can see except they don't like P C Mechanic. I am not too impressed either but it came long after my problem started.

JRT's run time dropped from about 7 hours to about 5 mins with Spybot uninstalled.

Post Win10 Spybot re-installed the main program like a dream.

At this time go on and uninstall/delete P C Mechanic. (Unless you paid for this program)

Has anything changed? Any improvements with the computer?

What we can do now is run an online scan with Eset, for the time being it is our most trusted scanner.
Most reliable and thorough.
The settings I suggest will show us items located in quarantine folders so don't be alarmed with this, also, in case of a false positive I ask that you not allow it to delete what it does find.
This scanner can take quite a bit of time to run, depending of course how full your computer is.

IF, you have an external USB device plugged in this will be scanned too. If this is attached the scan can take considerably longer.

Note: Since this scan may take a long time to complete. Please do not browse the Internet whilst your Anti-Virus is disabled.

Thanks Juliet.

I did purchase P C Mechanic but Anti Mal seems to have quarantined it as it has gone from the desk to at least.

The instructions for disabling Spybot were the same out of date ones as before.

Eset worked OK after I made a small change to Spybot. Settings/Live protection and Un-tick "Scan problems before they start"

In the 7.5 hours since Eset finished and I put the system to sleep it lost only 0.1 Gb of space. Compared to previously that was better.

When I returned to the computer just now it was still in sleep mode, a pleasant surprise.

I will monitor the loss of space over today and let you know.

Eset scan report attached.

Hi Juliet

In the further 7 hours since the last message the free space has shrunk by another 0.10 Gb but the computer stayed in sleep until I woke it.

Whatever this thing is, it is able to wake the computer from sleep and is able to operate without Task Manager showing activity. When I do a "Clean Up" the longest pause is whilst it looks at Windows system memory dump files.

Not many of my programs would be able to "wake" my computer. If there was a common routine to do that maybe I could search for it to see if I had a bad copy somewhere. Obviously I am plucking at straws.

I was about ready to format the lot and go buy Win 10. My mate got a freebie copy of it from MS and he now says to wait for a month or two especially as I don't have a touchscreen computer.

Thanks for trying.

Regards

Peter

Hi Juliet
I have run Window Repair twice as per their recommendation.

It has changed since your instructions for it by a couple of versions at least.

I have only had control back for a while and the first thing I tried to do was Create a restore point and do a disc clean-up. The system would not do either of these actions. The disc clean-up just hangs and I have to use Task Manager to close it.

I have lost another 11.5 Gb since booting up this morning and have only 12.8 Gb left.

I have to confess that I thought you were referring to the "Pro" edition so I bought it and discovered that it is only a bit different to the Free edition. The "Pro" edition has a number of extra repair options which I unchecked beforehand. I did however tick the two "Pro" features:-
1 Run Custom Scripts After repairs.
2 Apply System tweaks after repairs.
I don't know if this was a mistake.

Another feature of the "Pro" edition is an improved Disc Clean Up function

Just what I need but it does not work and I suspect it is causing the original windows item to malfunction.

I have not regained the Print Screen function.

Enough for today. I will try again tomorrow.

I will send a copy of this message to Tweaking.com (Key No. 3466019221)

My opinion is we're not dealing with malware but rather a full system.
Not sure that makes sense and, I may not have described that correctly but, we're about at the end of what we can do for searching for malware.

I can't see how it could be a full system when I could easily cleanup 35 Gb of free space. Losing about 10 Gb of that space a day tells me it is a resident problem.

I have not heard back from Shane at Tweaking.com as he has weekends off.

In the meantime I will have to mostly leave the computer shutdown.

Regards

Peter

Did you run the last scan?

You could be very right. It could very well be a resident tool or software that causes this but, which one, I haven't found.

Hi Juliet

I was waiting for a reply from Tweaking.com forum but no help so far.

Attached are several logs and in ComboFix the log refers to drivers "SWISSARMY" AND "MPKSL4511C4C3".

I put those through FRST with the following result MBAMSWISSARMY => Error: No automatic fix found for this entry.
MPKSL4511C4C3 => Error: No automatic fix found for this entry.

Not sure if that is good or not (Swiss Army looked suspicious to me.).

I am desperate to get back the abilities to create a restore point and do a Disc Clean-up. I have only 11.80 Gb of free space left. I can't work around the original problem if I can't get these two back.

Regards

Peter

MBAMSwissArmy.sys
is a normal and legitimate file for MBAM (Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware)

c:\programdata\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Definition Updates\{651A3338-2AC0-432D-A9B8-9E036FACC3F4}\MpKsl4511c4c3.sys
Is a legit folder related to Microsoft Security Essentials
You do not want to delete those folders/files.


AVS Registry Cleaner is registry cleaner/fixer utility whose purported purpose is to remove redundant items from the Windows registry.
RiskWare 61% remove it

Please take a moment to read about the dangers of using registry cleaners.
We DO NOT recommend the use of registry cleaners/optimizers for several reasons:

Registry cleaners are extremely powerful applications that can damage the registry by using aggressive cleaning routines and cause your computer to become unbootable.

The Windows registry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Registry) is a central repository (database) for storing configuration data, user settings and machine-dependent settings, and options for the operating system. It contains information and settings for all hardware, software, users, and preferences. Whenever a user makes changes to settings, file associations, system policies, or installed software, the changes are reflected and stored in this repository. The registry is a crucial component because it is where Windows "remembers" all this information, how it works together, how Windows boots the system and what files it uses when it does. The registry is also a vulnerable subsystem, in that relatively small changes done incorrectly can render the system inoperable. For a more detailed explanation, read Understanding The Registry (http://www.techsupportalert.com/pdf/e1209.pdf).
Not all registry cleaners are created equal. There are a number of them available but they do not all work entirely the same way. Each vendor uses different criteria as to what constitutes a "bad entry". One cleaner may find entries on your system that will not cause problems when removed, another may not find the same entries, and still another may want to remove entries required for a program to work.
Not all registry cleaners create a backup of the registry before making changes. If the changes prevent the system from booting up, then there is no backup available to restore it in order to regain functionality. A backup of the registry is essential BEFORE making any changes to the registry.
Improperly removing registry entries can hamper malware disinfection and make the removal process more difficult if your computer becomes infected. For example, removing malware related registry entries before the infection is properly identified can contribute to system instability and even make the malware undetectable to removal tools.
The usefulness of cleaning the registry is highly overrated and can be dangerous. In most cases, using a cleaner to remove obsolete, invalid, and erroneous entries does not affect system performance but it can result in "unpredictable results".

Unless you have a particular problem that requires a registry edit to correct it, I would suggest you leave the registry alone. Using registry cleaning tools unnecessarily or incorrectly could lead to disastrous effects on your operating system such as preventing it from ever starting again. For routine use, the benefits to your computer are negligible while the potential risks are great.

Ed Bott's Webog: Why I don't use registry cleaners (http://www.edbott.com/weblog/?p=643)
Do I need a Registry Cleaner? (http://www.whatthetech.com/2007/11/25/do-i-need-a-registry-cleaner/)


For this reason I recommend you uninstall AVS Registry Cleaner.


FixCamera.exe is also found in your start up folder.
MSConfigStartUp-FixCamera - c:\windows\FixCamera.exe

Did you follow these instructions to use Disk clean up?

2 Hours ago I had only 11.8 Gb of free space. I then did 2 things.

Attempted to run FRST to again get rid of FixCamera.exe but it stalled on trying to create a restore point.
Ran the basic Disc Cleanup routine (The primary option which does not require a restore point).

A while later I went back to "Computer" and saw the magic change to available space. Incidentally I was trying to download a picture of my Disc Cleanup "More Options" page from my camera when I went to "Computer" as my camera was not logging in. My version of Windows/Disc Cleanup refers specifically to certain versions of Vista holding backup information from earlier restore points. I have been creating a new restore point and clearing all the stuff before it. It has worked like a charm until Windows Repair changed it.

Your comments about AVS Registry cleaner are noted and I will uninstall it. But I have been using it for a couple of years without problems. It is currently unusable anyway as it needs to create a Restore Point first up.

From my position running Windows repair has caused more problems immediately than anything else.

On message 14 I sent you the Fixlog showing FRST had removed FixCamera.exe.

If the ComboFix log did not show anything "bad" I guess we have explored all avenues.

Thanks for doing your best.

Regards

Peter

I'm sorry, I read the log wrong. ComboFix did take it out.

- - ORPHANS REMOVED - -
MSConfigStartUp-FixCamera - c:\windows\FixCamera.exe

~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
For restore points.
It's possible Windows Repair changed or reset settings back to default.

Type services.msc in the start search box. Click on the 'gear' icon.

Once the window has opened up, scroll down to
Volume Shadow Copy service

Is it set to automatic? If it isn't, then set it, reboot and see if you can make a new restore point.

~~~
Try the above and let me know how that works out.

Yes I did that and changed it from Manuel to Auto.
But when I click on System/System Protection, it cannot find the last Restore Point and the Button to create a Restore Pointed is "Faded".

Hi Juliet
My mate had the computer overnight and reports that there are damaged clusters on my hard drive and that is causing the system to try to backup.
Mystery is why chkdsk did not report that.
In view of the computer's age I intend to get a new one.
Thanks once again.
