5.6.2.3 Compare
The Compare feature allows the user to compare two existing logs. The outcome of this feature is a set of items not
common to both logs. It is suitable if you want to keep track of changes in the system, a helpful tool for detecting
malicious code.
After it is launched, the application creates a new log which is displayed in a new window. Click File > Save log to save a
log to a file. Log files can be opened and viewed at a later time. To open an existing log, click File > Open log. In the
main program window, ESET SysInspector always displays one log at a time.
The benefit of comparing two logs is that you can view a currently active log and a log saved in a file. To compare logs,
click File > Compare log and choose Select file. The selected log will be compared to the active one in the main
program windows. The comparative log will display only the differences between those two logs.
NOTE: If you compare two log files, click File > Save log to save it as a ZIP file; both files will be saved. If you open this
file later, the contained logs are automatically compared.
Next to the displayed items, ESET SysInspector shows symbols identifying differences between the compared logs.
Items marked by a can only be found in the active log and were not present in the opened comparative log. Items
