I have a problem where my disk usage is constantly at 100%. It started out of nowhere. I started my computer as usual and i didn't at first notice anything different but suddenly my disk usage sky rocketed to 100% and stays there no matter what. Task manager shows no irregularities other than multiple instances of programs such as skype and google chrome running. I think I may be infected. I cant run. It took ages to run FarBar Security tool. I cant use programs normally either because of the disk usage.

Hi,

The items deleted with the RogueKiller were not listed in your logs.

Could this have come from a Sync issue.

If the problem persists and Chrome is Synced with other Devices check this out.

Execute the suggested fix.

Restart the computer normally.
===========

Let me know if all is well.
