The xylobot trace.txt is just like a spew file for debugging. It should only be found in the root dir (usually c:)

I just installed and updated PooP and I don't have the file, I also use EQW. Not that this really helps you any. You could check on the station msg boards... god knows I couldn't find anything helpful there, but you might. I would probably ask about it there, can't get in too much trouble for asking... I hope.

I've got the same trace file... added 7/19/02. This really bugs me considering I reformated my HD on the tenth and had only installed the EQ (trillogy + luclin), EQW, and MQ. Other than that I haven't DL'ed any files that could have a trojan. :!: :evil: :!:

Source of EQW

Perhaps you didn't DL EQW from the EQW home page?

I know sounds like a dumb theory, but people will do just about
anything to scam these days.

I remember reading about this trace.txt a looong time ago, before PoP which is around when this would have been used. From what I remember the general conclusion was that is does nothing, and that it's an obsolite piece of EQ
