Automatically jumping the virus bandwagon is pretty noobish imo. Honestly it’s probably a corrupted partition table or something along those lines. Windows is obviously confused. A backup and clean install is probably the best option and if that doesn’t work a new drive.
So Windows randomly getting and losing HD space means the OS is corrupt or the hard drive is bad?
I think you’ve been working retail too long.
I didn’t say that’s what it meant…I said that’s what it *could* mean. Only an idiot comes straight out with “You have a virus.” “You probably have a virus” would have been better phrasing…regardless, I’ve never seen a virus jump around hd space either without storing huge quantities of crap that’s generally easy to find. Afaik she hasn’t found anything like that. With a format it doesn’t matter either way because the virus is gone. If it still jumps around what is it then? She managed to get the virus onto her install media?
