| 76930 | 2002-09-06 02:59:00 | I have recently managed to uninstall Zonealarm Pro after somewhat of a struggle but I am left with 1.4Gb of files in Windows\internet logs whick I presume are records made by Zonealarm. The files are all labelled rDB****.TMP where the* represents an alphanumeric identifier. Firstly, how do you read these files? Secondly, I assume it is quite OK to dump them if they only relate to Zonealarm. Any comments? |

| 76931 | 2002-09-06 03:02:00 | Umm ... why would you want to read them ?? I guess you could do so by using a text editor if they weren't too big. And as a rule anything in the Windows\Temp\ folder is ok to be deleted. |

They are probably intended as debugging aids if you maake a bug report. Such files are far more useful in debugging than any user's "memory" of what happened. ;-) Obviously if they are put in the tmp directory, they are not meant to be kept in the long term. |
