Strange .log Files On My Desktop

Recommended Posts

Since this morning, two new visitors has camped out on my desktop.

 

One is lcapi0.log, & when you open it you get:

 

19:50:36.703 F20:F24 WARN :: module=lcapi flavor=fre version=1.7.226.0 (RTC Version 4.3.5371.0)

the other is Transport0.log, & contains:

 

19:50:41.500 F20:F24 ADVCED :: Module:Transport DLL-version:3.0.5739.0 Retail Adv:0

19:50:41.578 F20:F24 INFO :: CTransportManagerImpl::Startup: Leaving, hr=0x0.


My system wont let me delete either file as it says they are in use (even when nothing is running), & I havnt installed today anything which would require either of them, whatever they are.

 

Has anyone come across them before? Or has any idea what they are/do?

I would recommend you first get an application called Process Explorer from https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals (They have some other great security utilities). When loaded up, go to Find->Find Handle and type in the filename of the first log or something (lcapi0.log). Hopefully you will then be able to find the process that is writing to the log file and decide whether you wish to remove it or not.

If you do, depending on what the application is you might want to reboot into safe mode to uninstall it.

Hope that helps :D

I think they have something with a ISDN device, are you using an ISDN dialup to get to the internet ?Another possibility is that you have installed 'Windows Live messeger' and placed some debugging file on.Normally CAPI has something to do with voice connections (ISDN or VOIP).

Try this step by step. 1) First download HigackThis software from internet. This software has no spyware or malware content. So it is safe if your downloading from safer site. you may find link from http://www.pcguide.com/ for safe site download.2) Click scan to scan all your system registries and other things.3) Don't click FIX button untill you are not sure about what you are doing.4) Save the LOG file the software generates and than post that file in this forum as HIJACK THIS LOG or directly PM to me5) Do as i and other suggested.I am sure this will make it clear all wrong thing.

Hi everybody! I have those logs too.. I noticed them in my received files shortly after I installed Windows Live Messenger, which was yesterday. It noted that it was received at that time. Today, it notes that they are modified. After reading the other posts here, I'm convinced they came with Live Messenger. Is it possible they should have went with the rest of the program? yes, computer illiterate here. :)
