WolfiKo Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 The new Microsoft Antispyware creates a file, called "errors.log". This file has grown on some of our systems to more the 2GB!!!. Its a good thing to delete that file, as an option in CCleaner. WolfiKo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishmen Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Here you go m8, browse to the folder in which you installed CCleaner open a file called winapp2.ini browse to the bottom and simply paste the below code. If you have any other question about how to do it just ask. I will more then likely make additions to it as I find more rubbish the app creates.

Moderators TwistedMetal Posted June 24, 2005 Moderators Share Posted June 24, 2005 Me and TheWhistlingCricket were talking about this last night and I didn't want to mess with MS AntiSpyware for just 1 file. But, since it is requested... I also found more Windows cleaning (referring to .Net) but I will have to do some research on it before I add it. I am unsure on a few things.
