Windows Vista seems to keep an error log at C:\Windows\INF\setupapi.app.log. Whenever I run a virus scan using the CA eTrust AntiVirus that was created for Windows Vista, it creates a large amount of data in the error log. It starts out like this:

 

 

cpy: Get PnpLockdown File 'C:\bootmgr' status=2 class=0

!!! cpy: IsPnpDriver 'C:\bootmgr'

!!! cpy: Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.

cpy: Get PnpLockdown File 'C:\bootmgr' status=2 class=0

!!! cpy: IsPnpDriver 'C:\bootmgr'

!!! cpy: Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.

cpy: Get PnpLockdown File 'C:\BOOTSECT.BAK' status=2 class=0

!!! cpy: IsPnpDriver 'C:\BOOTSECT.BAK'

!!! cpy: Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.

cpy: Get PnpLockdown File 'C:\BOOTSECT.BAK' status=2 class=0

!!! cpy: IsPnpDriver 'C:\BOOTSECT.BAK'

!!! cpy: Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.

cpy: Get PnpLockdown File 'C:\caavsetup.log' status=2 class=0

!!! cpy: IsPnpDriver 'C:\caavsetup.log'

!!! cpy: Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.

cpy: Get PnpLockdown File 'C:\caavsetup.log' status=2 class=0

!!! cpy: IsPnpDriver 'C:\caavsetup.log'

 

It keeps going and lists almost every file in my computer. Is this normal? What do the errors mean? The AntiVirus program once corrupted my hard drive, and I had to run Windows Scandisk to fix it. Do these errors explain why that happened?
