computer is: philips x58
RAM: 2GB

Security: Norton Internet Security 2007
hard disk called Vista is loosing a GB everyday. All the folder including hidden folers inside the hard disk add upto 13 GB, but the information shows i have used 30 GB. no idea how. if it goes on this way, in 80 days time my hard disk will have nothing to store. I did not install any programs yet. No torrent program, no limewire, no junk programs, no virus, no trojans, no spies, no cookies, no adwares nothing found. how can this happen? can windows vista itself eat capacity like this? can someone help me please.

regret the tardy response
though i'm not entirely sure, my guess is the vista backup utility is eating away the hard drive space

think i've nailed it...
Vista automatically creates a restore point once a day, and also when updates and some software and drivers are installed. If you want to change the once a day to be more or less frequent, it is possible, but will require modifying your registry. I must always mention that incorrectly modifying your registry can cause problems, and could even prevent your machine from functioning all together, so BE CAREFUL

norton antivirus is not that reliable, and you'll have trouble uninstalling it . don't blame it on vista
