Configuration :: Guard

Report

The Guard has a comprehensive reporting function that can provide the user or the administrator with precise information on the type of malware detected.

Limit report file

Limit size to n MB

If this option is enabled, the report file can be limited to a certain size; possible values: 1 to 100 MB. This option is enabled as the default setting, with a value of 1 MB.

A tolerance of approximately 50 kilobytes is included, in order to minimize load of the computer. If the size of the report file exceeds the pre-defined size by 50 kilobytes, old entries are automatically deleted until the pre-defined size -50 kilobytes has been reached.
