Can´t delete a strange file

[lusodana]

I have one day created a new directory of my own C:\test. In it somme program creates now each day a file named "ciscoIHV.log" which I don´t know what it is and I would like to delete, but I'm not aloud to do it (another process is using it).

The date stamp of the file is updated each time I boot de Laptop.

Somme one knows what is crating this file each time I switch my PC on?

The attached file was renamed to ciscoIHV.txt because I couldn't upload it as log file

Thank you for your help

Hi, lusodana, and welcome to the forums.

Are you by chance a member of DOT11 broadband Internet?

NO, don't do this - yet...

First, tell me if you are a member of DOT11 networks or not.

To johngalt

Thank you. No I'm not a member of DOT11.
I only remember I have once unpacked a program to C:\test and installed it from there. Which program? Don't ask me about it

It looks like Vista calls the Dot11ExtIhvInitService function to initialize the IHV Extensions (DLL?)
Have a look if you do not have a service called IHV or something with Dot11.... and disable it.
From where it comes? Normally it could come from a Wlan adapter??
