Tylast,
I'm not entirely sure how the log grows. My understanding from other google search reads, is that the disk logging drives the available space down.

Tylast,
I'm not entirely sure how the log grows. My understanding from other google search reads, is that the disk logging drives the available space down. While I was scanning my computer for a possible virus, Windows popped up to tell me that my 1.7 gig had vanished to 143 mb. Soon afterward, the pop up icon vanished from the system tray and the virus scanning completed.

I ended up with 1 medium risk - SAHAagent (tracking malware) and my 1.7 gig returned. However, it was slowly dissipating again. Curious about the files I had found, the subsequent google search revealed the Zone Alarm prospects. I think the disk logging doesn't entirely chew up the space. It must go so far and then releases it. Hence, you'll find a tvDebug "zip" file. The only thing I've been able to figure out is that the zip file is what collects the day's logs when they've reached a certain size and a new one (log.txt) is created upon boot up.

If you find out more, please let us know. I too have been using ZA for years and this is the first time I've heard of this or witnessed it.

Tvdebug.zip is located in the winnt internet logs file. This is apparently a "compression bomb" according to an Avast scan. The reason Zone alarm does not properly handle this issue, is because doing anything to the file, activates the bomb, and your system resources are immediately drained. It's essentially an override, due to memory availability. Try using Avast instead of Zone alarm. It does not actually open the file, and you can find out where it is. Especially considering my Zone cracked, & this bomb is in a Zone Alarm related file..... It's time for change. On my computer, it also seemed to have repeatedly propigated win32.iroffer.af, identified by spybot s & d, with an asso...

On my computer, it also seemed to have repeatedly propigated win32.iroffer.af, identified by spybot s & d, with an associated mobysync.exe registry inconsistency, I keep having to remove. Try kicking your computer out on it's ***, or make it pay rent or something, that should straighten it up good.
