    On the C:// Properties, My hard drive says it has a capacity of 142GB and it says 36.7GB of it is used. A few days ago it said it had 110GB free, 108GB free yesterday and now 105GB. I havn't downloaded anything. the folders in the C:// drive add up to 20 gigs used... :confused:

    I've disk cleaned, ran CCleaner, virus scans. Nothing. :confused:

    Do you have windows system restore turned on? It is on by default & that is probably taking up few GB's everyday since it takes snapshots of your system files. You can disable this feature if you want to through the control panel.
