Thanks for your reply Deb. I managed to get my computer running by very quickly crossing off the 'shutdown command' that appears. I am currently running a few virus scanners to see what I can find. Unfortunately, I'm not very clued-up when it comes to computers and I've never really had a problem like this before. My computer is still telling me I have no space left on C. I have deleted a few files and freed up around 400mb. This appears to be enough to stop the 'Low disk space' balloon from appearing, but I really want to know what has used my free 35gb space up in just one day, without my knowledge. And I wanna fix it. I will inform you of the virus/spyware scan results and the results of a startup in safe mode.
