Help!

The message below is being logged 100's of times every 15 seconds.
I've googled it to no avail.

I'm swimming in log files, it's consuming 2GB every 4 days! - obviously i'm deleting them because i only have 2GB of space on C:

The message is being logged to:
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\LOGS"

Everything seems to be working fine, except for the problem with log files eating all my free space.

It's SBS 2003 Premium, will all SPs and patches, and WSUS 3 and Sharepoint 3


TIA
