Why the fear?

I can guess it's because you have no backup of "what you can't lose."

-->> Try this. Get your files that you can't lose on CD/DVD/Internet/USBstick and make 2 spare copies.

Now with all your files safe and sound you can delete the tmp files and try disk cleanup.

Try Unloading your virus scanner software
Jun 27, 2010 7:55AM PDT

I found that my virus scanning software in windows 7 was taking up a huge amount of ram. I ended up turning off some of the more robust real time scanning features and the unloaded it completely in order to eliminate that low memory message. Once I isolated the problem, I talked to the vendor to figure out why my switch settings were causing this problem. Turned out, and I use f-secure, that the settings were doing real time scanning on every file, whether internet or not. On that particular computer, I only had 1mb of ram and it used it all up. The new box that I just bought has 4mb of ram and no problem. On the old box, I had to turn off some of the real time monitoring to address until I could add some more memory. Maybe this will help
