Larry:

Do a "FIND" for all files ending in ".log" I was amazed the first time
I did tahat after I had SpyBot on an 760RD running NT SP-6a. The log
file was 862K per run! In a month it ate up 25M of space. When I
started checking mail filters, Norton's, etc. all had ever growing log
files. I wrote a small script which now reminds me to check at 14 day
intervals and if the files are more than 60 days old, they're deleted
automatically.
