Location Of Log Files In BD Total Security On Windows 11?

ajer

I am using Bitdefender Total Security. Using Windows 11. Can you please tell me what folder and file name I would be able to find log files containing Firewall logs of problems and also log files from Antivirus scans and Online Threat Preventions, etc. I do not see anything in the UI that can show me log files. When I look at the User Guide for this product, there are multiple references to the "Scan log", but it does not tell me how to browse the scan log.

You may find logs in below stated directory on your PC

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bitdefender\Desktop\Profiles\Logs

Make sure your hidden files option is enabled to locate the respective logs folder.

I do not have the log files in those folders. I have view settings set to see hidden files, but not operating System files. So, I should be able to see them. I use a program called "Agent Ransack" to easily search my whole C drive for any file or folder name. Searched for "Bitdefender" and these are the folders that I found on my C drive:

Which folder do you think I would find log files in.

Then tried searching for folders called "Logs" ... found a whole bunch, but one in a folder called C:\ProgramData\Bitdefender\Desktop\Profiles\

I see several levels more of folders here and then some XML files that I can not open. Are the log files in XML ?
