Hello, PLEASE help me. I am a NEWBIE to computers, here is my problem. My computer hard drive memory whet from 189 GB, down to 3.25 GB OVER NIGHT. I have AVIRA Anti-gaurd, and CC cleaner along with scan and sweep installed. Now they are installed on an EXTERNAL HD so it's not takeing up space on the disk. PLEASE, any HELP? I have no idea what to do. Everytime I log on it DROPS even more memory. Right now it is at 1.69 GB. This is insanely irritateing, and I feel hopeless. Thanks for any help, Shane
