Looks like I will have to boot into Me if I want to do anything with it because I tried renaming it but it refused because it is in use by another program, of course I couldn't delete it either.
So what is WMI? I looked at that link and couldn't figure it out. |

Oh, and Neo, all it tells me is that it is a text document. I can't even view an extension no matter what I try but there is no way that any normal type of logging should be growing this fast. I'm leaning toward agreement with you that this is somehow malicious. I.e. trojan, virus, or similar..
And it's still growing...another 25 megs since my last post..... |

Found a thread at another forum talking about this, did a search on google with the file path name, this is what i came up with Read this and maybe help.
They post a work around to keep the file from growing but not a solution as to what I have read up to so far.
Dunno if this will help.

Do you have AOL??? Sounds like it's bloating your system enough to be...  |

Try looking in Admin Tools -> Performance -> Performance Logs & Alerts etc. Maybe you can turn it off there. |

YEP I KILLED IT!!!
I downloaded tracelo_-setup.exe
Used the command: tracelog -x at the command line.
And finally deleted the trace.log
Rebooted to check if it wasn't restored and I havn't seen it anymore. |

Well, I still don't know what was causing that log file to run out of control but I tried what you did Dutch and it is gone and not coming back.
Thanks again everyone!  |
