Once the scanning is done, a FixIt! tool will generate a ZIP archive containing the report in the folder specified in the report settings. The default path is C:\Users\<User>\Doctor Web. A text file with the .zip_password.txt extension containing a ZIP-archive password is saved to the same folder. The link to the file is displayed in the FixIt! tool window.
