Limit report file
Limit size to n MB
If this option is enabled, the report file can be limited to a certain size. Permitted values
are between 1 and 100 MB. Around 50 kilobytes of extra space are allowed when
limiting the size of the report file to minimize the use of system resources. If the size of
the log file exceeds the indicated size by more than 50 kilobytes, then old entries are
deleted until the indicated size minus 50 kilobytes is reached.
Backup report file before shortening
If this option is enabled, the report file is backed up before shortening.
Write configuration in report file
If this option is enabled, the configuration of the on-access scan is recorded in the
report file.
Note
If you have not specified any report file restriction, a new report file is
automatically created when the report file reaches 100 MB. A backup of the old
report file is created. Up to three backups of old report files are saved. The
oldest backups are deleted first.
