Selecting all will not show the files and size count within selected
folders. it will only show the size of the selected files within the
directory. In other words it doesn't select the files that are within the
folders, only the folders themselves. Viruscan only scans files that you
tell it to, unless you tell it to scan all files. It may not scan hidden
files.
Chkdsk is correct and the right click/properties on the C: drive should also
give you a good accurate usage.

Subject: [THIN] OT - Anyone seen this before?
I've got a Windows XP laptop with a 30 GB hard disk. If I right click on the
Windows directory from the root of C:\, it tells me the directory is 24GB.
If I go inside the Windows directory, select all and choose properties... it
tells me 1.06 GB. I have hidden/system files displayed.
I note that chkdsk tells me there are 65,000 or so files, whereas my search
for *.* and virus scan show ~25k files.
... HUH?
