Monitor Norton AntiVirus activities
Occasionally, you may need to look at previous Norton
AntiVirus activities, such as when the last system scan
was done or how many viruses were detected last week.
Norton AntiVirus displays a record of its threat detection,
application, and error activities in the Log
Viewer.
About the Log Viewer
The Log Viewer displays the history of activities in each
Activity Log. An Activity Log is a collection of multiple
log files, one for each type of information collected: threat
alerts, application activities, and errors.
Using the information in the Log Viewer, you can:
1
View detailed information recorded in each log by
selecting the log in the left column and viewing the
the details in the right pane.
1
Delete the activity entries for a log by selecting the
log, then clicking Clear. If you never clear the entries
for a category, it expands until it reaches the
maximum size. Then it starts overwriting the oldest
entries.
Check the Activity Log
Check the Activity Log to see what tasks were performed
and the results of those tasks to make sure that your
Options settings are appropriate for your particular
needs.
To check the Activity Log
1 In the main window, under Norton AntiVirus, click
Reports .
