This menu contains the following items:

· Event history log

4.3.1. Scan Results

The Scan results overview dialog is accessible from the menu History via the

Scan results item. The dialog provides a list of of all previously launched scans

and information of their results. More information about this topic can be found in

the Scan Overview/Scan Results chapter.

4.3.2. Virus Vault

Available through upper menu History/Virus Vault.

Virus Vault is a safe environment for the management of suspect/infected objects

detected during AVG tests. Once an infected object is detected during scanning, and

AVG is not able to heal it automatically, you are asked to decide what is to be done

with the suspect object. The recommended solution is to move the object to the

Virus Vault for further treatment.

The Virus vault interface opens in a separate window and offers an overview of

information on quarantined infected objects:

· Infection type - distinguishes finding types based on their infective level (all

listed objects can be positively or potentially infected)

· Virus Name - specifies the name of the detected infection according to the

Virus encyclopedia (online)

· Path to file - full path to the original location of the detected infectious file

· Original object name - all detected objects listed in the chart have been

labeled with the standard name given by AVG during the scanning process. In

case the object had a specific original name that is known (e.g. a name of an

e-mail attachment that does not respond to the actual content of the

attachment), it will be provided in this column.
