10:39 PM - Crashinator08: No space at all now
10:39 PM - Crashinator08: It honestly just says
10:39 PM - Crashinator08: 0 bytes
10:40 PM - Dr Sandvich½: stuff.
10:40 PM - Crashinator08: I dont know what I'm going to do

This is basically what's going on.  I have no idea what I should do.  What ever is causing this has chewed through over 3 Gigabytes of free space in less than an hour.  My C: drive is showing that it has 0 bytes of free space and I cant think of any way to get rid of this. Help?

Ccleaner, MBAM, HijackThis,  rKill

The only problem is that I cant keep any space clear to download any of them. I cleaned 101 megabytes to make space for it and it was gone before I could start the download

I think I stopped whatever was eating my memory by restarting my computer.  But I still don't know where that memory went
