'Horseman is right, if you get a virus the normal consequence would be that Windows would stop working, system restore including. Still I use system restore all the time even though I've never had problems, everytime I try some software and don't want to keep it, instead of just uninstalling I do a full system restore so as the registry doesn't get clogged with leftovers.
Defragment and stuff but IMO it's just impossible to account exactly for hard disk space nowadays. You just have to leave some margin. Virtual memory also has discspace allocated. Do you use P2P? Once eMule alone took around over 30 Gb with temporal storage of redundant downloads --that is "let's download the same thing from five sources in case the first option's file is invalid, so as to save time since I've got bandwidth to spare". :P
