Computer scan log

You can view detailed information related to a specific scan in Log files. Scan log contains the following information:

Version of detection engine
Starting date and time
List of scanned disks, folders, and files
Scheduled scan name (scheduled scan only)
User who started the scan.
Scan status
Number of scanned objects
Number of detections found
Time of completion
Total scanning time

A new start of a scheduled computer scan task is skipped if the same scheduled task that was executed earlier is still running. The skipped scheduled scan task will create a Computer scan log with 0 scanned objects and Scan did not start because the previous scan was still running status.

To find previous scan logs, in the main program window, select Tools > Log files. In the drop-down menu, select Computer scan and double-click the desired record.
