space sucker 4000

Hi, people who are smarter than me!(everyone)

TL;DR version
Are there any good programs that can show files that are being added to my computer, maliciously or not?

My computer seems to reach critically low disk space often. Every time I make space it seems to be filled up rather fast, but I don't beleive I am the one adding the files.

I enjoy your complete admission of my superiority. If you're clearing more than a gig and it's filling up without any input from you, you've probably got something interesting going on. check for virus's and spyware, and also make sure you don't have something like a backup utility (norton, etc.) or file downloader (azuerus etc.) eating up your space.- if you have to, go into safe mode and check the programs running there against the ones running normally. you can google the filenames and find out what each running process is doing.

If you're clearing less than a gig, you're probably just eating up the space by surfing the web- clear your cache and change your settings.

Oh, and the thing that can show files being added to your computer is called a firewall. find a good one, and then curse it as it keeps you from doing anything without fucking with your port forwarding and permissions.
