Hi

- Delete error.log, something is wrong !, start with a
total "housecleaning".

- Download/Install CCleaner, www.ccleaner.com, remove all
temporarily junk

- Download/Install Lavasofts Adaware, also removes tracking
cookies.

All scans then in *safe mode*, press F8 during reboot.

- Start CCleaner and remove all temporarily junk.

- Choose fullscan with all options checked within MSAS and scan.

- Also choose fullscan within Adaware

- Restart and check your error.log if it grows rapidly
again. Maybe
you need to reinstall MSAS.
 
We are aware of this issue and there is no correlation to the runaway
error.log and spyware. It is still good to follow the advice given and check
just to make sure. Many times the CPU will spike when we hit this condition.
It is also OK to delete the errors.log file if it grows big.
