    What version of Avast are you using ?
    There was a problem where Avast was changing the System Restore max space setting, and creating Restore Points.
    That is supposed to be fixed as of a couple of releases ago.
    The Avast Secure Virtual Machines tool is what caused the problem.

    Glad to hear changing the setting helped :)

    I'm using the free version of Avast, more specifically: 2015.10.2.2218.

    Do you thing I have something more to do to increase my free space?

    Info and download are available here:
    https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=176600.0

    You can update to the latest version
    OR
    keep an eye on your System Restore max space to make sure it doesn't get changed from what you set it to

    I was thinking that Avast was a problem. That is why I asked.

    I would suggest what ever anti virus program you use check often for updates often.
    I check mine manually 4 or 5 times a day.
