The file FaceProv.log has probably something to do with the face recognition. According to several anti-virus programs my computer has been ´clean´. After I uninstalled the Lenovo´s VeriFace program, the notepad file from the disk C is gone and doesn´t come back after each time I turn the computer on like it was before.

Hello. I would like to ask: does anybody know what´s the function of this FaceProv.log file? I am not an expert but also my fist impression was that it´s a virus…
I deleted it and it´s there again, monitoring the log in again.

Is there any way to delete it permanently?

Thank you for reply!

Hi Julia,

Yes, go ahead and delete it, unless you plan on looking through the logs somehow. I don’t see a reason to keep it there, and on this kind of setup, it just causes issues.

I looked at it’s programming and it has a lot to to with the windows log in…almost seams like a virus.

I wouldn’t have any problem with it if it shipped with the OS configured to store data on the larger drive, especially if its restore option was also configured that way. But putting the OS on a tiny drive that’s configured by default to store user data also in that tiny space is just silly.

And yeah I remember those days of Win95 and the mess repartitioning was back then… actually I was doing tech support at that time and it made for some rather interesting calls. Yay for modern file systems

This is indeed an issue.
Faceprov.log can be deleted with no consequences.

As to the poor partitioning, this goes back to when IBM made PCs (as in, before they sold their PC division to Lenovo). I had an Aptiva with Win95 that had the same stupid tricks, with a tiny C as default, with all other space partitioned elsewhere.
Although, back then, OSes were distributed with computers on CDs (or floppies, but I have 95 CDs) rather than on a hidden partition, and partition shifting was harder.
