I don't know what cpepmon is, but I have a growing file "cpepmon.mlf" that cannot be removed because "it is being used by another program." I can delete it in safe mode but it returns and grows by several meg a day. I deleted the first time when it had grown to 34 gig!

Hello Fred, I don't know why cpepmon.mlf appears and grows. I would guess there's some software bug in CheckPoint's software. Please try to upgrade the CheckPoint software, and if that does not work I'd recommend contacting their customer support.
