Hi Dan,

Run the Task Manager, go to View/Select Columns, and turn on the following
columns: "I/O Read Bytes" and "I/O Write Bytes." This will give you details
as to which process is accessing the disk.

In the meantime, as I noted you have run some of these programs, but re-run
them now, all of them:

Run Ad-Aware SE, Spybot and HijackThis:

Note: Update each program, once installed, before running.

All the Best,
