Gery,

My harddrive has about 25% left on it. I have an external MyBook that I
sometimes attach that keeps music,and video. No, the hard drive is not cloned
or anything like that. The only backupsoftware I am using is the one that
Windows XP provides.
My antivirus is McAfee and so is my antispyware. The firewall I am assuming
is just Windows XP. No, I have not used any third party cleaners. I will do
a full surface scan and let you know the results, in the mean time here is
the info you requested
