Computer question
I was going to post this in the Computer DU group, but I'm poor and therefore don't have access. :(

Does anyone know if I can find out what has eaten up all my memory. Yesterday I had almost 3 gigs free, and this morning I had less than a gig. I haven't downloaded anything or installed any new software. Is there a log or history somewhere?

Thanks. :)

1. I assume you mean hard drive space?
If so... you can search your drive to show all files created/modified in past day.

2. Yes
sorry I didn't make that clear. I'll try a search right now.

Thanks.

3. If you really did lose that much space in a day, something is whack.
That's just.... weird.

Unless you've been hacked and someone has uploaded movies/music/porn to your machine and is using it as a file server. But, this is unlikely.

4. I have zonealarm and AVG
so I don't think it's that.

I search all files for the last 2 days and I can't find anything huge. This is just weird. :crazy:
