errors.log file

[Pat Willener]

I apologize if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it
searching this newsgroup.

In the Microsoft AntiSpyware folder I find a file named errors.log that
is 4GB (4,294,967,299 bytes) large. I cannot open it with anything to
inspect its contents.

What is it? Is it normal to be that large?

Thanks,
PBW

OK, I have been able to open and view it (with my web browser). It
contains the following message, millions of times:
"91::ln 0:Object variable or With block variable not
set::gcasDtServ:modThreatData:Initialize::2005-06-18 21:27:34:1.0.509"

I assume that there was some kind of problem at that time.
Can I just delete it, and will it be reallocaded?

Thanks again,
PBW

You can shutdown temporarily MSAS process (using tray icon for example) and
delete the log. Then start MSAS again.

Yes, it can get unwiedly sometimes, so the best you can do is just delete it
and pay close attention from then on.
