Ok, so here is my issue. My school computer's hardrive is always slowly and steadily filling its hard drive with data that I can't seem to find anywhere. It fills up about 1 GB a day, even if I don't download anything. Another issue is that when I delete things, it takes up more space!! The hard drive is filled when I delete stuff, that makes no sense to me. I only use this computer for school, playing games such as MUGEN and Super Smash Flash 2, and streaming anime. Could any of these things be the issue? I have done all of these on other computers and they have been left completely unharmed. I have also had the computer reset and gotten a new one and the problem persists. PLEASE HELP!!

I would update your virus pgm and run a FULL virus scan off line as soon as possible. It sounds like a virus.

Do a full disk search for new files, including system and hidden files. Based on the date, name and location of the new files that are taking up your system you should be able to sort out where they are coming from.

Check for malware (different from virus's) also (MalwareBytes has a free version)
