System Restore keeps changing to use 50% of HD
This is weird. A few months ago I had reason to suspect I had a virus, and went through a thorough process to make sure my system was clean. One of the symptoms I noticed was that I seemed to be losing disk space. Well, after my system was clean I did some further research and learned that System Restore was the culprit. I had not, as far as I can remember, set the configuration for System Restore. I just assumed that guys who built my box and installed Windows 7 had done it correctly. When I went to the configuration window I discovered it was set to use 50% of my HD. Ridiculous. So I reset it to 7%, or about 20 GB. OK for a while, and then the same problem, my drive free space was suddenly much less than I knew it should be. Went back to SR configure and it was set to use 50% of HD again (well, actually 50% of the C: partition, I have the drive divided into three partitions). Changed it back to 7%. Now today I had to do the same thing. Any ideas as to why Windows keeps resetting this? I know for certain it is not something I did, but I'm also confident there's no common virus or malware on my system, so it's very puzzling.
