Re: Weird file that grows non-stop (mondump.txt)

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

If this was my machine then I would plug this hole like so:
1. Delete the file.
2. Create a folder of exactly the same name.

This will prevent the rogue process from writing anything into
this file. If it is a legal process then it will write error messages
to the Event Logger.
