Computer is acting strangely
« on: February 03, 2012, 10:58:52 AM »
Hi.  My computer is acting strangely.  I am getting popups from the task bar saying "Low Disc Space.  You are running out of disc space.  Click here to cleanup," and "Last backup failed."  I did click it one time and tried to run a disc cleanup but nothing changed.  There was nothing cleaned up.  The two items it listed for cleanup didn't have any memory (bytes) associated with them so I just left it alone.  When I went to Computer from the Start Menu to look at how much memory I had the D: drive is almost 100% full.  I opened the D: to look at the files but there were so many that I thought I would do more harm than good by deleting or changing anything.  Next, I did a scan with my Avast Free and there were several items that were found.  One or more of the items was not able to be cleaned and it was called a 'bomb' of some sorts and was not able to be vaulted, repaired, or deleted.

Thank you for any help that you can give to me to fix the problem with my computer.
