Not enough information for me to get an idea.

Can you tell us how much free disk space you have on your C drive. This is the most important point.
It doesn't matter you are running on a 1TB HD but having free space of 1MB

Some programs can significantly slow down the throughput of the PC especially when those are designed to work in background. Some are getting loaded at boot time.
However I don't see any point in running such applications with having a low disk space warning.

Make sure you haven't enabled any option like background dumping where all the videos you watch are saved to HD from background.

Download HijackThis. This is a freeware. Install this and post the report so we can check whether you have any unwanted application or spyware running in background.

So, more information required from you......

Okay. First thing don't panic.
We need to find out what causes the abnormal behaviours of your hard disk.
It can be a virus.
Can you install HijackThis as in my previous post and let me have the report as ASAP.

BR..
this damn thing is confusing me...
I have to format my hard disk second time again.
Oh god...today also same..i backup my important files & Docs make a full format to get rid from this thing.
now it is solved.But brother I used kasperSky ....Then Avast....Then Avira...
they couldn't find that....?

Now my new problem is what is the Virus guard to use in the future.?

You must use a virus guard and a spyware tool in combination. I recommend following tools.

ESET Smart Security or ESET Anti-Virus
Malwarebytes anti-malware

You would have run HijackThis and try to find unwanted applications. I suspect it is a spyware as these days viruses are not much popular.

I think there is a particular topic under General -> Virus....
I clearly stated that I recommend ESET products for anti-virus. Secondly Malwarebytes anti-malware is a very good tool to protect against spyware, adware, etc....

I use following tools as when necessary. Just a brief description is added.

Always use HijackThis to find out the applications that are running in background. I use this ones a month to make sure my PC is clean from unnecessary applications.
I use Diskeeper 2010 - This defrag the hard disk from background and the system is guaranteed to run in optimal speed always.
I use CommView to see the network activity of my network cards. So if there is any unusual network activity, I can see what programs are tryign to go to internet, etc...
I already told you about ESET Smart Security and Malwarebytes anti-malware
I use Registry Mechanic to keep my registry clean
SpeedUpMyPC to see whether there is any chance of improvement from software side including registry optimisation
Iarsn Task Info is a great application that can detect all application activity on Windows
WinUtilities is a great bundle of software that can be used to recover files, etc...
WinHex - Sector level disk editor. When I see disk problems that can't be sorted out by OS, we can do that with this nice piece of tool
PE Explorer is a nice disassembler tool to analyse Executable files in Windows (EXE, DLL, OCX, etc..). If there is any suspicious file, I used to analyse it using this tool for fun
