  1. He cares much less about his specs and hardware, so I think this relationship will work JUST fine. (I bought new RAM for myself when I built his computer and used my old RAM for his build, no complaints!....)
  2. I suspect the update might have caused several more issues for the two computers in our household. I'm considering the case closed for now as the issues seems to be resolved with the new update, but here's the link if you want to look into it.
  3. So, I've come to the conclusion that the memory leak issue is related to the update that was released, which explains why it hit the two computers at almost the same time. It does not explain the HDD space issue unless the update somehow utilized the space for RAM while there was the memory leak, as well as the issue of real time protection options turning off, but since this too seems to have normalized I'm crossing my fingers that it's all related to the update. (I have several GB less than what I have in safe mode, but I suppose this is normal?)
  4. Here are the same logs from my bf's computer. unhide.txt Addition.txt FRST.txt AdwCleaner[S0].txt threatscanbf.txt unhide.txt
  5. Hello! My boyfriend's computer started acting up weirdly today. It said it was running out of disc space and suffered from low memory. He ran CCleaner, deleted some files and restarted. Suddenly 20GB space! We thought that was it.. Until my computer also went all "NO SPACE ON C, LOW MEMORY". I thought it could be a coincidence until it notified me about the low memory. I have 16GB RAM, after all. My boyfriend has 8GB. Just a moment later, Malwarebytes notified me that real time protection was off. I had not turned it off. So I tried to turn it back on. It didn't want to. So I immediately shut off sharing, made sure my firewall was on and restarted in safe mode with networking. Checked disc space and now I suddenly had 29GB free. So I started a scan with Malwarebytes. Also enabled start self-protection module early. Didn't find anything, scanned at least 3 times. Downloaded AdwCleaner It detected one thing and removed it. Booted computer normally, but now malwarebytes were acting up. I got the error "can't connect to service" or something, and when I tried to manipulate the processes to shut it down and restart, it told me I didn't have access. Once again I booted into safe mode with networking, tried to start malwarebytes. Same problem. So I downloaded Malwarebyte camoflagued and installed it again, removing the other one. I finally managed to start it. Scanned one last time, but nothing. Downloaded Malwarebytes rootkit scan. Nothing found. At the same time, my bf notified me that the problem with the space and memory had arisen again, and that real time protection was turned off for him. Did the same procedure with his computer, and nothing detected either. TLDR; - Low disc space out of nowhere, low memory despite having 16GB and 8GB RAM. - Malwarebytes real time protection off - Turned off network sharing and made sure firewall was on - Restarted in safe mode with networking - Suddenly more disc space - Ran Malewarebytes threat scan. Nothing detected. - Adwcleaner found one thing and removed it. - Booted normally, now malwarebytes gave me the middle finger "can't connect to service" - Safe mode again, reinstalled malwarebytes under camoflague - Downloaded anti-rootkit, ran it, nothing detected. Also, my bf's hdd space didn't improve until I booted in safe mode WITHOUT network. Maybe because I ticked off the start early self-protection module on my own computer and not his? Now I'm running out of options, so I'm hoping someone can help us out. Or else I have to reinstall Windows on both without figuring out what might have unleashed this hell upon us... Attached are my computer's logs from Malwarebytes threat scan, AdwCl, unhide.exe and FRST I will comment below with my bf's logs attached. threatscanChaos.txt unhide.txt AdwCleaner[C1].txt AdwCleaner[S1].txt Addition.txt FRST.txt
