i'm thinking there should be a manual way to clear at least one of the logs: on one of my XP systems, i have the log file

this file was manually reset (safe mode and copy con "{D7FB805D-8827-4A38-8241-340B5D18D9F7}.log" CTRL-Z Enter) only two days ago. it was 9GB (!!!) before the manual reset and the system was showing the effects.
at the very least there should be a way to request an upper bound on these SQLite-based log files.
I branched this to your own thread as the original poster had asked to for his account to be disabled, so have locked that thread.
That's not normal - my MCLOGS is only 6.34MB. I would contact Technical Support, it's free by phone or online chat and linked under Useful Links at the top of this page.
There's another way of freeing up Windows files generally - when doing a Disc Cleanup take the extra step of cleaning up all but the last restore point. The steps vary by system.
it is a system which at times is very busy. i've suspended Firewall event logging and the file appears to have halted its expansion. i am certain all the moving parts are operating within their design parameters - except i am taking issue with one of the design decisions.
Yes, I quite understand.
i can supply two more data points:
04/30/2012 10:52 AM 1,108,257,792 {D7FB805D-8827-4A38-8241-340B5D18D9F7}.log
and
04/30/2012 10:59 AM 4,390,912 {D7FB805D-8827-4A38-8241-340B5D18D9F7}.log
so while i don't know the purpose of this file in MSC/Logs , i can say a remedy is to disable Firewall Event Logging.
Tech Support might be able to identify it.
