III. Submit the log to ESET technical support

  1. Attach the ecls.txt file located in Start My Computer Local Disk (c:) to an email reply to technical support. technical support will examine the scan log and respond as soon as possible with the recommended steps to address the issue.

  2. If you have not already opened a case with ESET technical support, fill out our online support form and specify that you want to submit logs for analysis. technical support will respond and tell you where to submit your files.
