Hello everyone!,

I am running Vista Home Premium (32-bit) Service Pack 1 on a Gateway
GM5474 computer. The computer has always been a great one, but here
lately I have been having terrible problems with it. I think it is
probably caused by a Generic PUP.x virus, but am not sure if it is the
problem. Anyhow, here's some background...Today I tried to start Windows
Mail, but it responded by saying (and I cannot completely quote exactly
what each error message was, but will give you the general idea) that it
could not find/locate the database and my memory was full, so I
restarted the system and tried starting the program again and it told me
that files were corrupt, but Windows was able to save it from the error
and the program started.

Later I went to add my GMail account to Windows Mail and somehow I got
to see my hard and recover disk resources. I have a 500 GB SATA II
(Western Digital) hard disk drive and it is almost full!!! I had only
used approximately 125 GB on the drive a couple of days ago, and I've
deleted unnecessary programs and ones I thought may be causing problems,
deleted toolbars in IE8, etc. What would cause this?

I'd appreciate your help.

Sincerely,

Dennis Primm

To be sure your system is clean download MalwareBytes from MalwareBytes.com
and Spybot Search and Destroy from Filehippo.com. Update both of them before
you scan with them seperately. Once your clean them to a disk clean up and
delete all but the most restore points. Good Luck.
