"Content.log" file growing

March 6, 2008

What software creates a file called content.log in the root directory of the

C drive? This file is created immediately after I delete it. It grows about

10 KB every few seconds. After several days it will be hundreds of megabytes

in size.

Open it up with Notepad and see what it says

for clues where it came from.
