Waasmedic

I have been reading the comments about the Waasmedic. My question is that I run AVG security and it appears it is supposed to delete the Waasmedic log but it doesn't. Is it ok to go into the log file and delete past logs? Are they needed any more or
can some be deleted. Thanks

 

Saves log files ?

You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

Download CCcleaner from here...........

You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.

 

Waasmedic

I am running the paid AVG software for security. Every morning I run the scans as well as other options in the software to make sure that there are no problems with my computer.

One of the options in the software is the "maintenance" option that scans the registry, broken short cuts, system cache & logs, broken data, startup & shutdown, and disk fragmentation.

When I run this option, the "system cache & logs" section finds the Waasmedic log file and shows that it can be deleted. When I run the cleanup option to delete problems in each category mentioned above, the Waasmedic log does not get deleted.



So if I rerun the "maintenance" option again, the log contents are still there.

So there really is no error message received. Just want to clean up my computer so it is safe and runs as efficiently as possible. If AVG is not deleting any of the contents of the log file, must the contents stay on my computer or may I delete the contents
individually. I have files in the Waasmedic file that go back 6 months and am wondering if they are necessary anymore or can they be deleted.
