I had already carried out these suggestions without helping.
On being informed by one of my friends, that he read of a similar case on google
search. I checked and exactly the same, it being due to a virus/trojan. As a test
my freespace being down to 170MB, I deleted files to value of 700MB.This meant I
had freespace of 870MB. In the following 2 hours I made no operation on the computer,
except to check freespace. The freespace went down to 60MB. Checking on my virus
programs, no virus was detected. Will it help if I submit a Hijack log?
