    yep, it took 3 shut downs before i stopped getting that red shield by the power off button.

    just had a look in computer and my C drive is showing as only having 68gb of 116gb free - whats eaten that amount of gb?!

    Make sure you run the AVG REMOVAL TOOL as posted above

    That entry asked you to remove in hijack looks very dodgy to me. Either acer have got some cr*p software in it or youve managed to get some sort of infection on it

    Scan the C: directory and use the tree size view and navigate through on the lefthand side.

    over 15gb for windows?! is that right? my user files are about right.

    in a nutshell - 35.89gb in use on c:, just over 15 for windows, just over 10gb for me and user files, 2.6 or so programme files then some odds and sods.
