    Although, it will try to install some extra things, just cancell those.

    are you sure it was a virus? If you have Peerguardian, try clearing the history.

    I was missing a few gigs one time and I found out that my PeerGuardian History file was like 3 gigs.

    Yeah it also could be a torrent, because if you delete the torrent file in e.g. utorrent, then the map with the file will still exist (although it should be empty.) when you delete it you will get your gb back.

    You need to be way more specific. Is the capacity of your drive short 1GB?
    I hate all of you, especially donkeyknob.

    You still didn't answer the question..

    1GB less CAPACITY (total list size of the drive)

    or 1GB of space mysteriously taken up? (i.e 33 of 100GB to 34 of 100GB)

    If you're missing capacity the BSOD could have just as easily screwed up your partition table or something.

    Ok.. So your drive capacity is 149.. You had 136gb of space taken up, but now you have only 135gb taken up? So you lost data..

    It could have been temp files stored that got deleted once your computer restarted.. Was it on for a long time prior to the crash?
