I already deleted it. Nothing.


Ill try malwarebytes in a while. Not sure if it will even download and run properly with my disk space at max use .

Its either creating new junk files or infecting files already in your system. Did you look through your HDD to see what files looked suspicious or was last editied? Either way, malwarebytes is your best friend for now. Im not entirely sure if you can place it onto a USB if your disk space is being all used up.

Also, do you have shadow copies enabled? Those are always handy, but they do take up space too.

I'm not into MLP. Just saying that's what pops into my mind first.

Put a warning.

Done.

woah man no need to get hostile over people reacting

anyways op id suggest mbam but judging by the fact whatever you got was taking up system usage its probably that

i had a problem with avast and it used up 99% of my usage but it eventually went away, so it might be avast itself more than anything

also what did you download? some video file?

Possibly try to boot into safe mode? It was either hold or keep pressing F8 before the window logo or whatever popped up to boot into safe mode.

[tikitai]

avast has a scan-on-boot feature, you should probably try that out

you should still try this out just to be safe

[Decepticon]

Note: i also did a ccleaner scan. Cleaned some stuff. My disk went down to around 50% then ramped back up. I do remember that at one point i restarted my pc it was at 0% stable, tried running avast and boom back to 100% again.

why the forget would you do a CCleaner scan at the first possible sight of a virus? CCleaner should only be used as a last resort, there's a chance it can forget up your computer/laptop really badly if there's nothing important on it.

scan with malwarebytes

[Jonathant1]

OP said something is taking up disk space, I dont think he can really download it onto his HDD, unless he means cpu usage/mem usage
