The SpIDer Guard log is stored in the spiderg3.log file that is located in folder %allusersprofile%\Application Data\Doctor Web\Logs\ (for Windows Server 2008, %allusersprofile%\Doctor Web\Logs). It is recommended to analyze the log file periodically.

You can set one of the following log detail levels:

Log Mode

Description

Standard

This mode is optimal for most uses.

In this mode, SpIDer Guard logs the following most important actions only:

•Time of SpIDer Guard starts and stops
•Detected errors and infections

Extended

In this mode, SpIDer Guard logs the most important actions and the following additional data:

•Names of scanned objects

It is recommended to use this mode only when errors occur or by request of Doctor Web Technical Support.
