Where do I find the logs/Scan Report
Hello everybody,
New here.Trying out the forum. Looks all very helpfull.
I checked out "Virus Submission" thread. But I kinda stuck at something stupid.
Where do I find the Scan report logs? Deep scan detected virus & infected objects, but cannot remove it.
I want to attach files in question in zip file (never did this yet). I downloaded IZArc.
I get stuck here: c:program files/softwin/bitdefender10/ .... It's not in quarantine = empty
Help is much appreciated.

Hi Dan137
The logfiles are stored in another folder : go to start,my computer,double click on the icon of your hard disc,Documents and settings,your username,then you have to go to tools,folder options,display (view) check the option view hidden folders and files and confirm by pressing on apply and ok. Normally then you will find the folder called application data,BitDefedender,desktop,profiles,logs. There you will find two subfolder that contain the scan reports.

Another way to find logs: open BD console, go to Antivirus Menu, select Scan , right click on Deep scan and now select View scan logs.
From the list select the log that you want (they are sorted by date) and now just double click on it and it will open.
[X] Report file: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bitdefender\Desktop\Profiles\Logs\full_scan\
The location in my setup, if is more easy for you to find it in this way.

Hi khufu
The folder application data is normal a hidden folder. So you will not find it until you check the option to show hidden files and folders.

I do know that Niels, but thanks that you updated my post.
For me, is easier to view logs from BD console.

I just wanted to be sure that you knew it. Because if he navigates then he/she will not find a folder called application data. In the location I posted you will find also the logs for the contextual scan. But you are also correct.

It's a she.
