Choosing Report options
The Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus application lists its current settings and
summarizes all of the actions it takes during its scan operations in a log file
called VSCLOG.TXT. You can have the application write its log to this file, or
you can use any text editor to create a text file for the application to use. You
can then open and print the log file for later review from within the application
or from a text editor.
The VSCLOG.TXT file can serve as an important management tool for you to
track virus activity on your system and to note which settings you used to
detect and respond to the infections the Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus application
found. You can also use the incident reports recorded in the file to determine
which files you need to replace from backup copies, examine in quarantine, or
delete from your computer. Use the Reports property page to determine which
information Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus will include in its log file.
To decide what data the application will record and how large the log file can
get, follow these steps:
1. To start from the Console window, select the task you created in the task
list, then click
2. The Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Properties dialog box appears (see
6-8 on page 229). Click the Report tab to display the correct property page
(Figure 6-14).
