OK first thing: the computer I'm working on has an 80gig hard drive, but it was partitioned before we bought it to have a C drive with 16 gigs on it and a D drive with 58.5 gigs on it. Now the C drive only has 1.8gigs of space left on it, and I've moved all the My Documents and My Pictures folders and basically any file that was downloaded or created by a person onto the D drive, but that hardly did anything. I tried to run the defragger, but C only has 11% free, and it wanted 15% free to run that.
The second thing: I know there's a virus on this computer something like counter.cab, but I can't get rid of it because I can only delete it in safe mode, but when I start the computer in safe mode the screen goes blank so I can't delete it.
Basically my biggest question is what on earth is taking up so much space on the C drive? I know that there are a lot of programs installed on this thing, but I wouldn't think that there's enough to equal 14 gigs.
Maybe the virus is causing the extra space to be taken up?
If I could re-partition the drives to make the C drive bigger, would the computer run faster?
