Private/var/log is grabbing 180 GB of my 250 GB HD

[bill120]

My Macintosh HD is overloaded with asl files that keeps multiplying. There are in a group called "wheel" and file type is document. Is this some type of virus because it just keeps increasing.

Sorry if I am not explaining the problem correctly.

Let me know if further clarification is necessary.

Mac Pro 2.66 BHz Dual Core Intel Xeon; operating with Leopard 10.5.7

Hope I can get this rectified soon.

Thanks

You have a runaway log file. Delete the offending log, then restart your Mac. If that doesn't clear up the problem, let us know.
