    Hello :)


    The name is not random.


    Let's do something: take the first set of numbers(before _) and put them here http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm in the field UNIX TimeStamp and press Submit.


    The name is given using the Unix time time stamp.


    Take care.

    Wow...what a prompt response?...really appreciable :)


    By the way, isn't it complicated for the users to understand?


    What is the significance of set of numbers after _ ?


    And why the Log Date mention in the log is different form that time stamp?

    Hello :)


    Actually is not that complicate, most of the user use Events to look at a scan log.


    The characters after "_" are random. The date in the name and the one from the file are different because one is taken when the file is created and one when the scan starts/finishes.


    Take care.
