Wow, we should add Kaspersky to the list of HDD space hoggers :) If you read this before uninstalling, expand that fat folder and see what exactly is taking space? (It is actually the files in root of Kaspersky).

Sorry mate we must have been typing at the same time I shall try again in a couple of weeks to see what is happening . The WizTree suggestion was stroke of genius.

Update just got this back from Kaspersky

It appears that for some reason, some how, the Kaspersky support tool "Trace files" has been enabled. When this happens, everything you do gets traced and recorded, hence large files accumulating.

Please go to the program data folder and delete all the enc1/log files inside the Kaspersky Lab folder.

Also make sure the Trace files is DISBALED to stop it happening any more.

Open Kaspersky
Go to "Support" at the bottom
Go to Support Tools
click DISABLE TRACE FILES.

The trace was disabled so I think it was just those eng/log files and now it is just a matter of keeping an eye on them
