Virus eating up hdd space?

Hi Tech-Forums people.
I have something very weird with this computer
Once, my E partition had like gigabytes of free space, but once I noticed the free space got down to bytes, Then 0 kilobytes free! I wasn't downloading a thing...
IDK but it disappeared.
But now it came back again, not the same badly, but annoying.
If I right click the partition itself, and click properties, the used space is 77.2 GB
But if I enter the actual partition, right click everything and click properties, the space used is only 68 GB ( Size on disk 68.2 GB )
I have the option show hidden files, folders and drives ticked. And hide protected operating system files unticked.
This problem is in all partitions of this Sata 250 GB hdd, but I have an IDE one and it doesn't have this problem.
The windows is on a partition of the 250 GB hdd not the 160 GB IDE one.
The IDE one is 1 partition. But the Sata 250 GB one is divided into 3 partitions, 50 GB windows partition and 2 other partitions for storing data.
Could it be bad sectors?
Thanks and sorry if this is in wrong section.
 
It could be bad sectors. It could be something else.

Open up Computer (or My Computer in XP) and right click on the drive in question. Select Properties. There go under the Tools Tab. There click on Error Checking. Select every option and click Start. Since it is not your system drive you may not have to restart the system.

This will perform a check disk and verify that you dont have any bad sectors. If your worried about drive health head over to Major Geeks and search for Drive Health utilities they have some free ones there you can use. They will tell you how good or bad of shape your drive is in.

After all of that if your still getting this vanishing space, head over to Spyware Asylum and run some scans.
 
Scanning with windows found nothing.
The list of drive utilities is too large, can you recommend some drive health utilities?
Thanks.
 
Second app link isn't working for me.
I couldn't run the first or the third ( Didn't get them ) But I did download an app called Drive Health and it reports my hdd as good.
Also now in C partition, if I right click all files and click properties, the size is more than if I right click the partition and click properties.
Something is wrong.
Imma go to Spyware website you said and Imma run some scans
 
Hello.
Sorry for super late reply, been so **** busy with school.
Anyway, I head over to Spyware Asylum and used ComboFix and MBAM ( IDK if combofix found anything, but MBAM removed 3 viruses ) still nothing.
I tried to boot in safe mode, but still the size is gone.
I have 0 restore points
Like I said before, once a drive of mines reached 0 bytes for no apparent reason.
And yesterday and today, I noticed the C driver hopping from 800 MB to like 1.6 GB free space.
any other suggestions? Is the hdd dead? apps list my hdd as working....
Thanks everyone.
 
We need to see the logs. There is no guarantee that everything was found with just those 2 applications. Most things can be found with them but you may need something more specific. So we need the logs for Combofix, MBAM and HiJack This before we can continue.

HijackThis log:
Note : When I was running the hijackthis scan, it showed up this but I just clicked ok
12333s.png

EDIT : Forget about this one, I ran as admin and the hijackthis log was a little more through. Please check page 2 for the newer HJT log thank you.
Also, today I freed up my C to about 4.68 GB and my E was at 7.01 GB, I thought of going to Safe mode and trying to scan by MBAM. But then my C was down to 1.48 GB and my E was up to 10.1 GB Hmmm? ( The space got down before I even ran the scan )
 
Ok I ran HijackThis as adminstrator and here's the new log

Split the combofix log into a couple of posts. You have an infection on your PC. Very few people are going to risk downloading something to read from an infected PC as they run the risk of getting the infection. Yes even through a simple text document it can happen.

I would remove your Internet Download Manager as 2 of your infections are from that program alone. You also have a couple of IP's setup in your TCPIP. Did you set them up?
