As well as copying the file, I can delete it occasionally but I can’t see any pattern in this. There is really no point in deleting it because it comes back the next day. It’s presence is harmless but irritating! >:(

Really, annoying …

I’ve reported this to Avast on the Developers Channel.

When I get an answer, you’ll have an answer.

Thank you!

Here’s what I’ve been told so far:
“Hi! SWCUEngine.log is written by Software Cleanup Engine which is used for Cleanup and Game Mode.
Error 3004 means that requesting additional information from backend failed.
Why it is located in C:\ is probably related to wrong initialized Engine instance.
We are currently investigating that. I will let you know as soon as I have more information.”
When I know more, so will you.

Problem was resolved with the last VPS update.

SWCUEngine.log is also created in the root of drive C.

Did you delete the log after doing your VPS update ???
I don’t have the log on the root folder any more.

Hi Bob, your screenshot is related to another log file.

I’ll try to reinstall.

system · 2017-12-04T11:35:17.000Z

It worked for me. It’s not in root directory any longer. ;D

system · 2017-12-04T21:41:38.000Z

Reinstalled, it worked!!!
