I was looking for some information on the internet today and my computer had a popup that read : You are running very low disk space on local disk (C:) and also a Critical error Windosw can't find hard disk space Hard drive error....then this pop up came up after it rebooted that reads WinDefrag with a file that reads 1816328.exe

Hello,

1 - open process explorer (CTRL-ALT-SUPPR) 2- kill 1816328.exe process 3 - open directory : C:\Documents and Settings\XXX\Local Settings\Temp 4 - purge that directory. Some files will be locked by the malware 5 - kill explorer.exe process 6 - restart explorer.exe 7 - delete the files which were locked 8- open regedit 9- search for occurence of "1816328" (or whatever that number is) 10- delete entries which refers to that program

It works for me...

Bye

This blog has a removal guide: http://deletemalware.blogspot.com/2010/11/win-defrag-removal-instructions.html

Safe mode and system restore did the trick for some users. You should try too.
