Can anyone tell me if and where Norton Security Scanner results are stored on the computer (even if only stored temporarily while the Scanner is still open after a scan)?
I recently downloaded the Scanner (with Adobe Shockwave, I think, but might have been with Google Chrome) and ran a scan, which reported numerous malware threats on my computer. I have searched for a log or list of the identified threats in every location that seemed likely to me, and searched for any file with the same TimeDate stamp as the scan, but have been unable to find anything.
However, many of the identified threats are in files I deliberately downloaded, including programs that are benign in and of themselves, but have the potential to be used maliciously (e.g., key loggers, firewall threat tests, etc.) and some are files I doubt contain malware (e.g., a Flock browser installer).
I don't want Norton Security Scanner to "fix" anything (let alone trying to indiscriminately "fix" all identified threats). Instead, I would like to examine some of the identified files more closely to see if they do contain malware, run some of them through the Jotti online scan to see if also detected as malware by other scan engines, and then delete those of my own choosing.
My understanding is that Norton Security Scanner only displays the results of the current scan, and there doesn't seem to be any option to save the scan results in a separate file; and there are too many to make it feasible to check them all in one sitting while the scan window is still open. (And the scan window and columns can't be resized to see the whole path and filename, so the only way to tell what some of them are is to hover the mouse over each identified threat to see the path & name, and even then there is no means to copy the path and name.)
So I would like to find a way to save the entire list to review in more detail as time allows.
Alternatively, if there is no way to do this, I wonder if anyone knows whether I would get similar results that could be saved in a file if I ran the Norton online security scan.
Thanks!!! :)
