Hello All:
Every once in a while I hear alot of activity from the hard drive, the computer slows to a crawl and the A ball starts to turn occasionally. I don't know if its scanning my system or what is going on. It keeps going until I get a Disk is Full error. Does it do automatic scans now or might something else be causing all this activity. It seems to only happen when online, I think. I have minimal things loaded, 12 processes. I updated and ran Ad-Aware and Spybot, just found some cookies and something related to IE, (I use Mozilla), and deleted. Still doing it I played around by turning all providers off and then back on again. Each time pressing yes to persist the changes. However when I reboot, all providers are disabled and I have to re-enable them. How do I keep them enabled? Any help much appreciated.
