The browser cache is limited. Also, this is not due to browsing. I suspect
it is due to some program that is installed on my machine.
I ran an anti-virus too. No results.
Just wondering if there has been any maliicous programs lately that do this

Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Is this a Virus?
When I reboot my computer I have 2 GB space. After about 4 hours of plain
web browsing, I get a low space message. The space left is 1 MB.
Something keeps on filling up my hard drive when my machine is on. How do
I figure out what? Anyone heard of this
Um .. this is a bit O/T for full-disclosure, but here goes :
Have you checked the amount of space reserved for your browser cache? In
the Microsoft world, this is typically set to 10% of a drive's size (not
free space .. physical size). Go into the properties tab of Internet
Explorer and set the cache to 1mb, clear out what's in there, and start
anew.
