Viewing events

An event is an action or configuration change that occurs within a
protection category and its related protection services. Different
protection services record different types of events. For example,
SecurityCenter records an event if a protection service is enabled
or disabled; Virus Protection records an event each time a virus is
detected and removed; and Firewall Protection records an event
each time an Internet connection attempt is blocked. For more
information about protection categories, see
protection categories
You can view events when troubleshooting configuration issues
and reviewing operations performed by other users. Many
parents use the event log to monitor their children's behavior on
the Internet. You view recent events if you want to examine only
the last 30 events that occurred. You view all events if you want to
examine a comprehensive list of all events that occurred. When
you view all events, SecurityCenter launches the event log, which
sorts events according to the protection category in which they
occurred.
