To continue the post after I got bored waiting for the forum
Download ComboFix from one of these locations:
* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop
[]Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools
[]Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
When OTL ran, the disk space was fine, no low disk space. Since I found out I had a virus, the Low Disk Space warning box has appeared 3 times. Also, when looking at the C drive disk space at random times, the space is constantly changing for some odd reason (each time I check). Sometimes it will show half full, near full or or show less than 6mb left on the drive and thats when the warning box appears.
Vents look clear. The fan and high CPU usage problem have been like this since the virus was found.
Another problem I noticed is that Windows updates are failing. The last two updates I tried to install (Definition Updates for Windows Defender) have failed.
Attached is the ComboFix log. One thing I want to mention is that while it was nearing the end process, a warning box appeared, with something along the lines of “cpxxxe.exe(sp??)” caused an error and the program either needed to be troubleshot or closed.
OK lets now check the MBR area
Please download MBRCheck.exe to your desktop.
[]Be sure to disable your security programs
[]Double click on the file to run it (Vista and Windows 7 users will have to confirm the UAC prompt)
[*]A window similar to this should open on your desktop:
http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv132/RPMcMurphy_album_photos/mbrcheck.png
[*]If you are prompted with options, enter N at the prompt and press [i]Enter[/i]
[*]Press [i]Enter[/i] again
[*]A .txt file named MBRCheck_mm.dd.yy_hh.mm.ss should appear on your deskop. Please post the contents of that file.
MBR log attached. Happy New Year!
All areas look clear now - are you losing drive space still ?
Please download and run Winstatdir
When the little pacmen have finished investigating the drive you will be presented with a visual image of your folders
Select the folder using the most space by clickin the little + sign alongside it
Locate the folder that is using the most space
If there is a + alongside that then click it to dig deeper
Highlight the offending folder and press Ctrl + C this will copy the path to your clipboard
Then right click the folder and select open
This will then open explorer to that folder… Do you recognise it ?
Then open note pad and select paste… Post the file path in your next reply plus the size
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\PC Tools\sMonitor
Folder Size:99GB
Biggest File Size: cputime.xml (94.9GB)
I happened to run this software when the C: drive disk space was low.
N/A
OK that is an apparent problem with registry mechanic - Make sure that you have the latest version of RM 9.0.0.128
Otherwise the recommendation is to uninstall it

It looks like that was it. I deleted PC Tool Registry Mechanic and all the files associated with the program. I now have 110 GB of disk space, and CPU usage is down to 1% (idle). Thank you very much for your time and assistance with this problem. I greatly appreciate what youve done in helping me resolve the issue!!!
OK lets clear away my rubbish then
I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems
Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean 
A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:
Run OTL
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
:Commands [resethosts] [purity] [emptytemp] [EMPTYFLASH] [Reboot]
[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
Click Start > Run and copy/paste the following bolded text into the Run box and click OK:
ComboFix /Uninstall
Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself. MBAM can be uninstalled via control panel add/remove along with ERUNT. But they may be useful tools to keep
We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that
[*]Click Start.
[*]Open My Computer.
[*]Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
[*]Select the View Tab.
[*]Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
[]Click Yes to confirm.
[]Click OK.
