View Logs

• Click 'More' on the 'CAV' home screen

• Click 'View Logs' in the 'More' interface

• Comodo Antivirus for MAC records all actions it takes in extensive but easy to understand reports

• A detailed scan report contains statistics on all scanned objects, the settings used for each task, and the history of actions performed on each individual file

• Reports are also generated during real-time protection, and after updating the anti-virus database and application modules.

To view a log of Antivirus Events

• Click 'More' on the 'CAV' home screen

• Click 'View Logs' in the 'More' interface

• Click 'View Antivirus' from the 'Log Viewer' interface.

The 'Log Viewer' Module is divided into three sections.

• The top panel displays a set of handy, predefined time filters.

• The left panel displays the types of logs.

• The right hand side panel displays the actual events that were logged for the time period you selected in the top panel and the type of log selected in the left panel (or the events that correspond to the filtering criteria you selected).

The 'Logs per Module' option contains the logged events of Antivirus modules and 'Other Logs' options contains logged events of the following:

• Alerts Displayed: Displays the list of various alerts that were displayed to the user, the response given by the user to those alerts and other related details of the alert.

• Tasks Launched: Displays the various Antivirus tasks such as updates and scans that have taken place. This area will contain a log of all on demand and scheduled AV scans and the result of that scan.

• Configuration Changes: Displays a log of all configuration changes made by the user in the CAVM application.

Filtering Log Files

AV for MAC allows you to create custom views of all logged events according to user defined criteria.

Creating custom filters

• You can filter logs using the controls in the 'Advanced Filter' bar above the report list.

• If you wish to view and filter event logs for other modules then simply click the log name in the tree

• This section will deal with advanced event filters related to ‘Antivirus Events, but will also cover custom filters for 'Other Logs' (namely ‘Alerts Displayed’, ‘Tasks’ Launched’ and ‘Configuration Changes’).

Preset Time Filters:

Clicking on any of the preset filters in the top panel alters the display in the right hand panel in the following ways:

• Today - Displays all logged events for today.

• Current Week - Displays all logged events during the current week. (The current week is calculated from the Sunday to Saturday that holds the current date.)

• Current Month - Displays all logged events during the month that holds the current date.

• Entire Period - Displays every event logged since Comodo Antivirus for MAC was installed. (If you have cleared the log history since installation, this option shows all logs created since that clearance).

The example below shows an example display when the Antivirus Events for 'Today' are displayed.
