what is a "EtwRTDiagLog.etl" file?

My virus program couldn't read these files... I have never even heard of .etl before!

Is it virus and how do I get rid of it in that case?????

I use Norman Malware Cleaner and so far that one has worked but this time I am starting to doubt it...

Plz advice me in what to do!! I don't want to have to download Avast again - it really slowed down my computer last time!

An etl file contains trace data.  The referenced file name would appear to be some sort of trace data for or containing event tracing for windows / diagnostic logging.
 
Googling the name of the file, it seems to be pretty common that they are not accessible, perhaps due to being in use.
