- Events: All important actions performed by your ESET product are recorded in the event log.
- Computer scan: Results of all completed manual or planned scans.
- HIPS: A record of specific rules that were marked for recording by the user.
- Firewall: Displays all remote attacks on your computer detected by the firewall. Available in ESET Internet Security, ESET Smart Security Premium, ESET Security Ultimate, and ESET Small Business Security.
- Filtered websites: List of websites that were blocked by Web access protection or Parental Control.
- Antispam protection: It contains records related to email messages marked as spam.
