Spybot as scheduled task. Where is the log file ?

Hi all,

I have scheduled Spybot as task "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe /AUTOCHECK" and it's correctly executed.

Problem is that I can't view anywhere the activity log file made by the program with details about operations it has made.

Where is it or how is it configurable to do that ?

Thanks and best regards

Alessandro

Regardless if you use the command line parameter /autocheck or do a "Check for problems", by default here are two Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log files produced during a scan. The second Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log has the details of what the scan found. A Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm.log file is produced if you fix or attempt to fix something.

There are two methods to review that information:

• Method 1:
  
  • Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Tools > View Reports > View Previous reports. Look for the Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log or Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm.log file that contains the detections you are interested in. Open it.
• Method 2
  
  • The Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log and Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm.log files are stored in the following folders:
    
    • Windows 95 or 98:
      C:\Windows\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
    • Windows ME:
      C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
    • Windows NT, 2000 or XP:
      C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
    • Windows Vista:
      C:\ProgramData\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
  • Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the correct Checks.yymmdd-hhmm.log or Fixes.yymmdd-hhmm.log file. Double click on it and it should open with Notepad.

Many thanks ... it was exactly what I needed !
