For some reason, my used disk space has been increasing....and i have not downloaded or installed anything lately. The used disk space was 7.? three days ago, and 2 days ago it was 8.2 and then yesterday it was 8.7 and today it is 9.52. Ive ran Kaspersky 5 virus scan, ad-aware 6, spybot S&D and nothing showed up. What in the world is happening?
 
Use the Windows Find command to search for all files with a size of 0 bytes. Some files are normal, but if the list of files like that grows daily and they aren't in temp directories, then something is amiss.
 
Thx for the quick reply Logica_1. Using the windows search, I can only look for stuff that are less than 1 kb (or am i wrong?). And now it just went up to 9.56 (from 9.52) and all i did was play a game without saving.
 
You could try a search for files by date, and look at the ones that were recently added, and go from there?

Are you the only user on this computer?
 
Ok, I decided to reformat since I noticed that I have a TON of junk on my computer. Thx so much for everyone that contributed to this thread.

    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots

    Weekend went by too fast. Next weekend I am going to try to do a nature thing - buddy of mine lives by the Colorado river and has some kayaks and invited me to do some kayaking from a place he knows to get on the river.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    That sounds like an adventure.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    400 users all online all looking at latest content
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I wonder how all these bots that sit on the lastest content page get passed anubis or maybe they did not but they are just registering on whos online
  • The Helper The Helper:
    showing up on whos online not registration
  • Ghan Ghan:
    The first gate is stopping all the bots that don't execute javascript.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    That's the main thing with Anubis - no Javascript, no site. Typically you can still get the site to load without Javascript.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I remember the whole javascript thing, question - how many real people disable that?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Hell I guess I could go back on the stats to know that - we probably capture that and we know the before and after
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Real users can't really disable Javascript anymore these days.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    The internet is broken without it.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Bot readable, not human usable.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    got it
  • The Helper The Helper:
