    If you don't know whether or not your system is infected with malware, you
    are not using antivirus and other protective software, and your system is
    likely infected. However, those infections may have nothing at all to do
    with the 'low disk space' problem. You should try a Microsoft newsgroup
    that deals with your specific operating system. You will need to provide
    more information:
    Operating System and update level
    File System
    Hard drive size.

    You can also help yourself by examining the various directories to find any
    that are unreasonably large.
