Good morning,

I have a i1452 Thinkpad / win98 / with a 4.5 Gig drive split into C: of
2 Gigs and D: having the remaining 2.5 Gigs. I have tried to keep at
least 100 Megs of free space on the C drive to keep the system from
bogging down. Over the last several months its been shrinking in spite
of my cleanup attempts ... to the point that there is only 38 Megs
available post startup. I've noticed there is a very sizable win386.swp
file which is growing in size. About a month ago it was around 49 Megs
and today it's at 70 Megs.

Does this sound like its could be virus related and if so what should I
do to salvage the thinkpad?
  
Is there a way to reduce the size of this swp file without compromising
the stability or ability of the computer?
