  1. Does anyone know what the wlan_memlog.log file is?


    Hi! About a month ago, Windows Defender found a trojan virus on my laptop and reported that a file inside the C:\Windows\System32\drivers named "hostdump_mem_log1000001d3.[a few digits]" was affected. Since it was stopped and no other suspicious events happened since then, I didn't think much about it. Fast forward to a few days ago, my laptop suddenly slowed down significantly, which made me curious about the virus I encountered previously. I checked C:\Windows\System32\drivers again and this is what I found:

    • There's a bunch of .log files with names starting with hostdump_mem_log1000001d3. and ending with varying digits. For example: hostdump_mem_log.1000001d3.3327640.log
    • They are created almost randomly, but there are times where a few of them can appear in a day. About 5 hostdump_mem_log files appeared on Feb 1, and at least 10 appeared back in Feb 13. I have not seen any pattern regarding times and frequency of their creation.
    • The trojan virus was detected around January. The earliest hostdump_mem_log file I saw in the drivers folder appeared back in October.
    • On February 16, 2021, I saw that a hostdump_mem_log file was created. A wlan_memlog file was also modified at the same exact time. This wlan_memlog.log file was created in August 2020 and it looked like it was being modified everytime a hostdump_mem_log file is created. I deleted these log files after documenting them.
    • The laptop significantly moved faster after deleting them, not sure if it is related to me deleting the log files.
    • Just this morning I got a BSOD with an error code of CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. A single hostdump_mem_log file and a wlan_memlog file was also created around the same time. Unsure as well if the BSOD and the wlan_memlog files are related as this was the first time I took notice.


    I don't really know much about these files and I haven't seen anything in the internet talking about this. I'm wondering if it's some sort of logs done by Windows or Asus, or some kind of malware. Does anyone know what the wlan_memlog.log OR hostdump_mem_log.log files are?


    Thank you!

    :)

    Saves log files ?

    You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

    Download CCcleaner from here...........

    CCleaner Professional | Try the world’s most trusted PC cleaner, free!

    You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.

    Only write one number to log file and delete old ones?

    Hey,

    I'm trying to have some software read from a .text file a number (GPU Temp) but the software will only the first number in a list (Or the first anything)

    Is there a way to have to log file delete the previous entries and write the new number in it's place without any headers?


    EDIT:

    Sorry I'll try again.

    I have some webcam software that can read a number (or whatever) from a text file and then it displays the number as an overlay.

    See here: http://10.244.193.13:8081/

    I was trying to use GPU-z to do this but as it logs as a list the webcam software can't update properly (also it reads the headings of the file and displays them instead)

    Is there anyway to alter the logging to only output just the number (GPU Temp) and to delete the old numbers so the new value is the only value in the file.

    [Help] Log File

    Hey all,

    Has anyone used the log file with powershell? I am looking to parse the log file but it is not being friendly. I save the log file as an XML and/or CSV but it doesn't really format the data correctly.
