Every time a Scheduled Scan or a Manual scan is performed, a personal log file will be created containing more detailed information about the results of the scan.

By default, history files will be automatically deleted after 30 days. You can keep these files on your device forever, or specify the length of time before they are deleted.

If any infected files or suspicious risks are detected by our system, they will be immediately placed into Quarantine. They will also be listed here.

Common Questions

Can I delete my history files safely?
Yes, you can! Deleting history files will not have any negative impact on your device. If any infected files or suspicious risks are found during a scan, they will remain in your Quarantine until you restore or delete the file(s) manually.
Can I restore history that has been deleted?
No, history files will be deleted permanently. They can not be restored after deletion. We recommend keeping history files on your device, otherwise you might lose track.
