Rogue Antivirus

It was not installed on your machine.

Something must be wrong then; I clearly remember my hard drive being 218GB free of 288GB. Now, it's 54.5GB free of 122GB.

To be honest, this is not an infection issue. Nevertheless I will check on it tomorrow.

It's because of the partitioning of Linux, no?

It would be from partitioning your linux, or it's not reading part of it because it's corrupt. Check your disk management to see if you have the total capacity split into several sectors, free, allocated or unused.

What do you mean 'it's not reading part of it'?

What do you mean 'it's not reading part of it'?

That will happen if hard drives aren't reformatted properly on installing a new OS, or there's corrupted sectors in your hard drive. But otherwise it's because it's allocated to your Linux distro, and it's a whole different file system. It won't read as available space on your Windows OS...

Post here or send me a PM when you are online. I won't be constantly online, but I will check for any notifications every five minutes or so.

I will be gone for the night. I'll try to meet once again at the same time tomorrow, but no garauntees; it's a Friday night.

If it's easier to do this through interative replies here on this thread, I have no problem in doing so. Either way, just leave me a message and we'll arrange something.

Did you not run Ubuntu simply from your USB drive? Did you perform an installation in your computer? Nevertheless it looks like we'll perform a disc check since the infection issue has been resolved.
