    Windows Vista Shrinking system drive free space in Vista OS, service pack 2

    The free space in my drive keeps shrinking though I haven't installed any new legal software in it. Is this a Vista OS problem, or is this some sort of malware or virus engineered to scrape data fragments off my system drive? What are the fixes for the above two scenarios?
