errors.log huge file

[Joe]

I have installed MSAS on many computers and it seems over
time all have a huge errors.log file in the program
files/Microst Antispyware directory that builds up. I've
seen files over 4gb. This must be a bug or error log
should be truncated automatically.

This is a bug, but I'm surprised that you've seen it on "all" machines.

I've only seen it on Windows 2000 servers, myself.

Yes, this should be fixed in beta 2. Disable Microsoft AntiSpyware in the
notification area, right the bulls eye icon > click "Shutdown Microsoft
AntiSpyware". Delete the error log.

Hello Joe,

i quote,
''
From Bill Sanderson:
I've had one machine out of about 3 dozen on which this log grew
uncontrollably. It did this only occasionally--I discovered the problem,
deleted the file, uninstalled the beta. Then I reinstalled the beta, and it
ran for weeks without the problem coming back. However, after some weeks it
did come back, so I've removed the beta from that machine until we get
another build.''



I had the same, after a new install no problems anymore!
