    One day Ill have 4 GBs, the next day without even downloading anything will have 500 mbs. I'm using Google Chrome which I think uses quite a lot of space, but that many? Could it be a virus? I got some infections recently too.

    Here's my HIJACK log:

    Do a disk cleanup? I do not go virus at this time with what you have said. But sure it could be many things.

    I am thinking temp files?
