I am currently defragging my C-drive with Defraggler, and I noticed that for some reason, the amount of free space seems to be going down. I started with over 347 GBs, now I'm down to 328.3 and dropping. I also noticed that my internet is slowing after 2-3 hours of use, but I'm not sure if that's related. I am using Windows 7.
Delete shit you don't use.
I did, I run CCleaner and uninstalled a whole bunch of programs.
Virus? Doubt Windows will just randomly use up space.
Okay, the GB problem fixed itself. Now it's 414 GBs like normal.
What bothered me was the fact that when I was running Malewarebytes, Microsoft Security Essentials popped up and detected 20 or so threats. It said it successfully deleted them all, I checked the history and they were all listed as "severe", and had names like "Exploit:Java/CVE-2008-5353.CG" and "TrojanDownloader:Java/Rexec.B". After that it deleted a medium threat called "Program:Win32/Dldsu.A". Think this might be Java?
You're defraging your hard-drive, that means the files on the disk are being copied and pasted then the old one is being deleted.
Defraging uses some harddrive space wile it's running you get it back when it's done.
