Good evening,
This morning, I had a strange situation. My internet connection completely dropped to a crawl, and very shortly afterwards, looking at my C: partition, upon which I keep my OS, I found that it reported that it was completely full. That partition
is roughly 65GB in size, and about 60% free space. Yet, here I was looking at the partition and it reported that it had less than a MB of free space. Fired up Safe Mode, same thing. I have no hidden file structures, so I added up all the
files on C: by reported size, and that sum total was equal to what C: should have been. Ran HD Tune to check the health of my drive, and all was reported well--I also checked block by block for errors past the range of my C: partition and found no errors.
After having done that, I looked back at my C: partition, and it was back to normal. However, when I booted up normally, I got a message stating that my OS was not genuine and that I would lose usage of MSE in 30 days. Needless to say, that
freaked me out. Rebooted, and the message was gone. Went back into Safe Mode and scanned with MSE, Malwarebytes, Emisoft Anti-Malware, Sophos Anti-Rootkit, Spybot Search and Destroy, SuperAntiSpywareFree, and TDSSKiller--all fully updated. Nothing.
I make it a point to keep my comp clean and efficient; I have very rarely gotten infected, but, here I thought for sure I had somehow. I assumed with the sudden lack of bandwidth, someone, somehow had uploaded something gigantic to my HDD. I
wasn't monitoring my bandwidth activity at the time, so, that remains just a guess, unless someone can tell we where I might find a log of such data natively in Windows 7.
I bought my copy of Windows 7 Home Premium from TigerDirect mid-December last year. It is a full retail version, or, at least it was advertised as such, and installation did not involve any of the additional steps that I have read are required with
OEM versions. I don't by the OEM distributions because I wish to respect the wishes of those who make software. But, now I am wondering why, briefly, my computer did not think my copy of Win7 was in legitimate use.
Below is the diagnostic results from MGAdiag.exe. I would greatly appreciate it it someone would verify that everything is above board. Now, I am off to try to figure out what just happened earlier with my C: partition and the sudden permeation
of its free space with phantom data. If you have any ideas on that from experience, I'd love to know about that as well.
Thank you.
