The Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus application lists its current settings and
summarizes all of the actions it takes during its scan operations in a log file
called VSCLOG.TXT. You can have the application write its log to this file, or
you can use any text editor to create a text file for the application to use. You
canthenopenandprintthelogfileforlaterreviewfromwithintheapplication

track virus activity on your system and to note which settings you used to
detect and respond to the infections the Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus application
found. You can also use the incident reports recorded in the file to determine
