Computer logging; Kaspersky - 10/07/14 09:16 PM
Just a 'heads up' to you computer guys.
I just had to take my lap top in to the shop, the HD was almost full.
But I just run Win7Pro, and have very little in my Doc file.
I don't use this little lap top for gaming. Just Email and the WEB.
Couldn't figure it out, thought it was either a virus or a failed HD, so I took it to the shop, my local ISP.
They looked it over, and found that Kaspersky was keeping 'all' the logs on file, every time I scanned.
And I scanned it almost every day.
It was taking up 420GB's on my 500 GB Hard drive! It was full.
Then the tech went into the back room, where they keep their computers, because they also used Kaspersky on some of them, and found some of their computers had well over 500GB's of log files on them!
Deleted them all, and changed the settings on mine to no longer keep a record of the scans.
Just in the event someone is having the same problem, and has Kaspersky, thought I'd mention it.
I probably should have said something here, but I've tapped Skatezilla too many times already
And I figured it was a virus replicating itself, so I took it to the service techs...which I am NOT.
Got it back with only a half GB of space being used.
Probably most of it is Win7pro.
I'm sure someone here could have saved me the $35 if I'd asked....so I'm offering, in the event someone else experiences the same problem....
