    Welcome to VirtualDr

    The Wbemcore.log file contains trace messages generated by the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) service. For example, it records logon attempts as well as capturing why WMI failed to instantiate a class for a provider.

    Also, Windows Security Center (WSC) sometimes gives false messages about your anti-virus program not seen or not working. Removing these log files helps to correct that.
