I finally found the Windows Live messenger folder with 2.67 GB! Inside Windows Live/messenger there were hundreds of notepad files with weird things written and each one occupying 10.8MB. I deleted them but i could see them coming and coming. Stopping it was easy, just by closing Messenger. If it is a virus it's a very weird one and i hope Avast is enough to find and destroy it. Just in case i'm buying an external hard drive...It wouldn't necessarily need to be a virus. It could be classed as spyware. So if the virus scan diddn't get results, try SuperAntiSpyware, SpyBot and AdAware. Not 'OR', but 'AND', just to make sure you find 99.99%.
