The report contains information on all scan (on-demand and scheduled) operations carried out by Platinum Internet Security and the automatic protections. Its main objective is to act as a history of all of the scans and log all incidents with the automatic protections. You can consult the results of a scan in two ways:
· Just after the scan has finished. When the scan finishes, click on the Report button that is displayed in order to access the full report window.
· At any other time. The report can be displayed whenever necessary by clicking on the Report button on the toolbar in the program window. A report on all of the incidents that have occurred will be displayed, provided that the content has not been deleted.
The incidents are listed in the report with a column for each field. The fields are:
Incident: This field specifies the action performed during the scan, or while one of the types of automatic protections has been enabled.
Notified by: This field specifies the scan type (on-demand, scheduled, etc), automatic protection or operation (update, etc) that has led to the incident entry being inserted in the report.
Additional information: This field specifies the directory and path (location) of the file that has caused the incident, or the type (name) of the scan or protection in which the incident has occurred. This information will include, for instance, the web site addresses to which the access was restricted by the Web content filter.
Note: only the computer supervisor will be allowed to
view the Web content filter incidents.
Date-time: This field displays the date and time the incident occurred.
Results: This field shows the action performed in the incident.
