My dilemna:  I have no disk space left.  My OS is Windows XP Pro.  I keep deleting programs and files and every time I do, instead of gaining space, I lose more space and now I am down to ZERO. Can anybody advise me?  I think that I may have a virus on my system. FYI ...I am copying the processes from my Task Manager window; detailed below:     
taskmgr.exe
wmiprvse.exe
SonyTray.exe
wscntfy.exe
rapimgr.exe
wcescomm.exe
ctfmon.exe
groovemonitor.exe
tbmon.exe
updaterUI.exe
shstat.exe
cvpnd.exe
svchost.exe
explorer.exe
alg.exe
ltmsg.exe
spoolsv.exe
wdfmgr.exe
svchost.exe
svchost.exe
svchost.exe
svchost.exe
svchost.exe
svchost.exe
Isass.exe
services.exe
winlogon.exe
csrss.exe
retrorun.exe
smss.exe
naPrdMgr.exe
vstskmgr.exe
mcshield.exe
wmiprvse.exe

Thank you for the link to remedy the problem, however, along with the fact that I have Zero disk space, is the fact that; I cannot even get onto the Internet in order to attempt to get into the link that you provided.  Every time I try to bring up Internet Explorer, the page disappears!  Does this mean there is no hope for me?  Does this mean that the computer has crashed?  I was hoping to be able to delete one or more of the .exe files from the processes tab in the system in order to be able to gain enough disk space for me to be able to get onto the Internet.  Thank you....C

Try Disk cleanup....here you can also remove all but the most recent checkpoint in System Restore, freeing up some space

Start>programs>accessories>system tools>disk cleanup>more options>System Restore cleanup.

You may also download the antimalware programs to a USB stick and transfer them to your PC and run the scans, you may have picked something up in your travels.
