My errors.log File is over 4 GB

[Bob]

The C:\..\MicrosoftAntispyware\errors.log file is 4GB
(4,294,967,332 bytes). Does anyone know why or how to fix
this. I am running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
and Microsoft Anti-Spyware runs every night while I sleep
(usually not finding anything).I know log files are a good
reference but "4GB"?!?!

delete it - this is a bug - it doesn't always happen, you may need to
reinstall.

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.

This is a known issue and i think it got something to do
with multiple user account or shutting down MSAS
frequently, just a guess

 

[Bill Sanderson]

Like everybody else says--delete the file. And, probably, consider removing
the beta. I'm glad you aren't seeing a problem from the file itself, but my
impression from other posts has been that there can be a performance hit
when it maxes out.

Its strange though how it maxes out on some and it does not on others. I am
on a multiple user account PC and my error log only makes it to 27Mbs which
is small compared to the size of my hard disk.

Yep--I don't know what it is that causes the issue. I do know I've seen it
on more than one Windows 2000 server.
