Hi Rojas, Did you have a look at the content of the file? Anything in there that might be helpfull, as to it's origin? Regards, Pieter
Hey.Pieter Oh yes but like i said no info at all i also have deleted this thing in Windows & safe mode & it just keeps coming back what i don't like about it is that it logs all my Security software & Mozilla what i look at & what i download not good when you don't know where it came from i just hope it's not somthing new my Boy's added to my puter i hate that well back to looking for more info lit me know if you have an idea of what it may be Thank you
Hi,Pieter Oh not sure this is any help at all but the only thing i installed new was my copy of PG but i don't think PG would not name there logfile Thanks
Hi Rojas, I asked one of the DCS moderators if it could be related to PG, because I don't use that myself. We'll keep you posted. Regards, Pieter
The only log that Process Guard makes under V1.150 is procguard.log in the main process guard folder.
Hey,Paul Ola @ Pieter Thank you will check back @ Pilli What i was thinking is that PG added procguard.log but i was also hoping they added that ShLog.txt so i was asking this thing is making me nut's have no idea where it came from or how to kill it Good luck
Hi,Pieter No sorry to say i'm not using that but this is making me go mad i can't seem to find where it came from so it looks like i will be doing a Reformat i hate the idea but i see no way out well i will be looking to see if i can find anyone with info on this thing you have a great one Hey,Paul
Hope I am not too late with a clue - did you install a version of RegRun3 recently? I found the SHLOG file in Windows\AppData a few weeks ago on my Win98 system, and was concerned about it for the same reasons as Rojas - logging of program launches. I don't have conclusive proof, but my SHLOG file has a creation date the same as that of the folders for RegRun3, and I believe it could be related to one of RR3's restore/protection programs. Haven't had time to learn all of it, either! lol Hope this helps, and I will see if I can unearth further info! Richard
Hello all, I also have shlog.txt and run RegRun3.... I am posting now at the official Reg Run Suite forum and referring Dmitry to this board.... Hopefully he will be along shortly to let us know if this is created by RegRun .... Regards, Kent

Hello,To all Hey,Vorpal Hmmm yes i just installed the RRG update at this point i pray it is RRG i was about to do a reformat i just hate the idea of this on my puter without any info on what it is Thanks @ puff-m-d Hi if you find any info please lit me know what this is i'm going nut's over this Thanks Hi,Paul
Well, I think I have solved the mystery - sorry didn't get back to you all sooner.. The Gold edition of RRG (I had the trial vers installed) has the Watch Dog / RunGuard (might be off on the second name, forgot to write it down) As part of its features it maintains a history of the programs that have opened and it has checked. The user can review the programs via the Show History log. Couldn't find a reference that specifically states Show History log = shlog.txt but it seems reasonable. But to test the theory, I uninstalled RRG and the shlog.txt file no longer accumulated information! So pending confirmation from RRG, shlog.txt does not seem to come from a malware source, etc.
Hey,Vorpal Wow you are the Man big time i just had a look at that ShLog.txt then had a look at Run Guard & as far as i can see you are 100% on the money on this one i thank you this was making me go mad not good that job gos to the wife kid's & dog hehe once again you the Man Thank you
This file is created by RunGuard as confirmed to me by Dmitry. The location is: "C:\Documents and Settings\ds\Local Settings\Application Data\shlog.txt"
"...it logs ...Mozilla what i look at & what i download not good.." not good at all. Does rungard require internet access? If there is no program option to turn off logging or set filesize zero I would shut down runguard module and delete ShLog.txt then dont surf anywhere before performing any update. Of course, I'd also have rules in place for the update IP's
You can disable Runguard. Go to global configuration and uncheck box, or even stop logging through Runguard settings HTH
