Hey everyone,
We use Avast Business at the company i work for. We are having a problem where a few of the users have a file called mstatmerged.gz that gets created in the C:\program data\avast software\avast\spamconf directory. This file grows in size day by date until it will fill up the users entire hard drive. On Friday, the file on my office pc was at 400MB and today, Monday, it is already at 48GB. The only way i have found to get rid of it is to uninstall Avast. After i reinstall Avast the file gets recreated and the vicious cycle starts over. In about 40 installations we have only found this so far in 5, at least at the facility i work at. Has anyone here ever seen this file or can tell me what causes it? I think it has something to do with Outlook or a spam filter.
Thanks!
