  • 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 which were marked for recording by the user.

  • Filtered websites: List of websites that were blocked by Web access protection or Parental Control.
  • Antispam protection: It contains records related to email messages that were marked as spam.
