I think i'm doing this properly here.
I've have a phone call from someone saying they were from a Windows support company and that it was in response to the 'Send Error Report' message I keep getting. I stupidly let them log onto my computer, type in different things then when they tried to sell me anti-virus, I hung up. I then logged on here and run the anti-malware thing and these are the results...

My laptop has since restarted and seems to be working fine.
I had a virus last year and my friends boyf cleared the hard drive (I think). I have nothing on it at all - no pics, music, word, videos. nothing. nowt. nada. but I keep getting messages saying I have low disc space. I can't even defragment because I have less than 15% available disc space. Are all these things linked?
All help would be much appreciated

Please run COMBOFIX
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
Shut down your anti virus
Follow the simple instructions it gives
Post the COMPLETE log it creates here (Split into sections if need be) ~ if there are loads of 'SNAPSHOT' pages then leave them out
If it comes up with a RENAMING error then RIGHT click the exe file and RENAME and call it QWERTY (Making the complete file name 'QWERTY.exe') Or SAVE as 'QWERTY' on download
(If no log comes up or you lose it, COMBOFIX.TXT can be found in C drive):idea:0 -
