Hi All, :)

Im not honestly sure what is wrong with my pc. Things seem to be running normally (no popups or spyware), I ran SAS Free (even though I uninstalled it), and ran Spybot awhile back (and its not installed). It seems like instead of making my hard drive space have more space, its doing the opposite, and it has less. The computer is a Lenovo IdeaCenter K Series K2.3 Pentium dual-core E2180(2.00GHz) 3GB DDR2 500GB Intel GMA 3100 Desktop with Vista Home Premium and SP1 installed.

Here is my hijack this log: Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2

Everytime you install a program, run a program that creates logs, do just about anything, and your hard drive(s) will gradually lose space. Unless you're losing a substantial amount of space every day without having done anything to cause it, I think your computer is acting fine.
