I just uninstalled some programs and it seems like it holding a steady 5.25gb.

Defrag, delete un-used programs and use CCleaner.

CCleaner will delete stuff from your temp folder and other places and will free up a lot of space.

ye, better do that-but why was it going up and down? thats weird.

but thx-karms

Hard drives are odd, odd things.

yeah also remember most of the famous or most destructive hacks have been through e-mail attachments after people download some thats how they got spread into their PC. The firewall would read HTTP port packet and say ohh its for e-mail nothing unusual there ill just send it to the appropriate IP since Im unblocked to let the e-mails through (but the worm(more efficient in way than a virus since they can inffect multiple PC automatically where as a virus may infect ur system only and from there on spread to others as u send them stuff as attachments.)may be hidden in an e-mail attachment requiring the user to download the attachment.) But yeah if it requires u to dl something ur antivirus should pick it up use avast tis free and it updates most of the time 2.


also defrag and dl ccleaner and check mark all those things on the first page

Turn off Hibernation as well. As long as it's turned on, there will always be a file called "hiberfil.sys" on your C: drive. It takes up as much drive space as the amount of RAM in your system.

1. Right-click on the desktop and chose "Properties"
2. Click on the "Screen Saver" tab
3. Hit the "Power" button on the bottom
4. Chose the "Hibernation" tab and uncheck "Enable Hibernation"
5. Press "OK" and you're all done.

good idea do that too since XP tends to create file for system restore and sometimes the warm might be informed to store its self there unless u turn ur system restore off.

Go to your computer, right click your hard drive, go to properties. Then go to disk clean-up. When you are at disk clean up, go to one of the tabs up top and choose the 'Delete all but the most recent system restore point' option. It will free up alot of memory.
