Hello once again,
The reason I can't remove the file is because some other program is using
sprtcmd.log and I do not know which but can access it. However it is a Dell folder/log. It is hidden in a Dell application data\support soft\dell support center\.......\state\logs\sprtcmd.log - path.
The trick is to RUN appwiz.cpl and then it takes you to Add/Remove Files.....this is how I found out another program shares the same LOG file.
Dell has a way to hide the files in the system so you can't access them......they are invisible.
Even if I bring all files and check for paths they are not there - invisible.
Dell help is useless as well so that is why I came here.
As you are well aware, they operate out of India or the Philippines.
Scary stuff!
The only other thing I could do is run Hijack this and remove it.
DO YOU RECOMMEND THIS?
Here take a look at O4. Thanks.
Mike
