Major Harddrive probs

[bliss00000]

Every time I boot my Win XP system the Hard Drive keeps spinning like mad and the free space is slowly increasing ! ! ! Performance is very slow. Safe Mode does not help. I don't think I have a virus. My virus scan comes up clean.

Can Win XP defrag a hard drive without telling the user or the user starting one? The drive is about 10% fragmented.

Any help is welcome!

sounds like a virus, boot to a virusscan boot disk and check your machine.

Booted into safe mode under the admin log-in and the hard drive is fine. Looks like it's a prob with my main profile.
