I found a cached question on a Spanish spyware board asking about a similar log entry. I couldn't find an answer, but it seemed to be either one of the above apps, or possibly some form of spyware. Have you scanned for any recently?

How about running Process Monitor in boot mode with a filter on this file? It would show you what binary was touching the file...

Thanks to the both of you for helping out with possible solutions. I ended up finding the culprit with cluberti's suggestion of using Process Monitor. Kodak EasyShare software was creating the logfile and I still don't know why, but at least I know it's not something I didn't install.

Your guy's help was a great service.
