| 'cvtaplog' causes Windows Defrag and Norton Speed Disk to crash | December 25, 2004 @ 7:21pm | (This problem was encountered and solved on a Windows 98SE machine. Other versions of Windows may also share this problem and solution.)
When attempting to run Windows' Disk Defragmenter or Norton SystemWorks 2004's Speed Disk, both crash and list "cvtaplog" as having performed an illegal operation. It turns out there was corrupted information in the c:\windows\applog folder (used to store data related to optimizing programs). Simply renaming this folder to something else allowed defragmenting to proceed as normal.
Note: Contrary to the claims of some websites (many of which were only setup to scare people into the security sites and services they're pitching), this program is not a virus, trojan, adware, spyware or anything else. It's part of Windows and not harmful to your computer in any way (unless you're trying to defrag!). There are some viruses (such as this one) which may overwrite that and many other Windows system files with their virus code, but the presence of this file on its own doesn't mean you have a virus. |
