"error" file

[scottsteele]

There is a file called "errors" in the file folder called
Microsoft AntiSpyware. I believe that this file was
created by the Microsoft software. This file is 4G !!!
Is this file part of the normal Microsoft AntiSpyware or
can it be deleted?

I also found a large error log - over 3GB after running
MSAS for maybe about 3 months. I have deleted this and it
has had no apparent ill effects. After running MSAS it has
never shown any errors. I have just downloaded the latest
version 614 and have not yet checked the errors log to see
if there is a large file.

I recommend deleting this file if it grows into the megabyte or gigabyte
range. This problem may recur, even after substantial time elapses. As far
as I am aware, this isn't fixed in the .614 build.
