    In D:\Program Files\Join Air\log i have a txt named Autoztemon who have 1.7 GB and is groving with like 1kb every few seconds, even if im not conected to internet.

    join air is program istalled by my provider who gave me other internet option, a stick with wireles. This stick intalled this Join air.

    but i dont use this internet conection and i gave this stick to a friend and probably he use it often, but i dont think because that my txt is groving.

    i dont have viruses, i scanned repetatelly and im not noob, i know good windows. My xp home is updated but is pretty old.

    The behaviour you describe is likely due to the fact that you're not using the wireless USB stick, but the program for it is still running and is just continuously logging errors related to being unable to connect.
    I very much doubt that this is at all malware related.

    but i dont see in my startup programs and stuff something related to this and he should not running until i activate this conection... I asked friends and this txt for them is only few kb, only mine is big

    i know i can just delete it or uninstall it (but i dont want to uninstall because probably ill use it one day is can be hard to setup it again) but isnt a easy and kind way to deactivate this file bug? somewhere in registry?

    How if you just disable it in the Device Manager?

    Go here D:\Program Files\Join Air\log
    First empty the log file so it is very small then right click the log file, select properties and check the box marked read only.
    This might not work because as long as the program is installed it might just create a new log file.

    Your best option is to uninstall the program.

    But a driver that does nothing, but has so much activity will definitely affect the performance of your computer. At least disable it as long as you don't use it.

    Start then run and type in msconfig.
    Click the startup tab and check there because JoinAir is running something (HKLM registry key) that causes it to keep running and adding to the log file.

    At the very least, disable it or every day you will have to manually go in and trim the log file.

    I have two USB dongles (linkys wifi) which I no longer use on two desktops. I uninstalled everything from one computer. On the other, I disabled it.

    thanks but what exactly to search in registry? searching for Autoztemon give nothing and for Join air give to many results. In my running programs at startup i dont see any stuff about join air

    but i dont understand why this driver or stuff is running with this txt, if i dont use this conection and this driver is activated only when i activate the conection

    You are not searching in the registry. You are looking at what runs at startup.
    Since you refuse to uninstall JoinAir, it will run and try to locate the USB stick. When it doesn't find it, it starts adding lines to a log. That's what you see getting larger and larger, the log of errors.

    The autoztemon.txt in C:\Program Files\Reliance 3G\Log\ was increasing every second. I deleted it but it was regenerated. Then I deleted Log folder.
    There after W7 want to report problem with AssistantService.exe

    Hence the service behind autoztemon.txt is AssistantService.exe

    C:\Program Files\Reliance 3G\AssistantServices.exe

    Name shown in services "UI Assistant Service"

    You can disable it. Disabling it results inserting 3G dongle can't autostart. You have to run its program.
    Dongle will work same as before.
