Comment: help!!!!!!! for several days now i noticed my hard drive space decreasing severely, i googled some answers and found out that vista automatically does shadow copies of some files and that this might be my problem however it isnt. My c:/users/jandrey/appdata/local/temp folder is being filled up with thousands of little files (starting by ZAP and then a bunch of numbers ie. ZAP1A34.tmp) i have currently 35gigs of free space on my hard drive and it takes about 4 hours to complete fill it up with about 50 thousand of those files. this is making my cpu run at close to 100% and making my system very unresponsive... i have installed and did a full scan with AVG but nothing came up... i dont know what else to do. please help me! THANK YOU!!! i ran a HighJackThis and have the log at the ready in case you need it, computing.net wont let me post it unless someone asks for it... -swissxcret
