About logs
PC-cillin keeps running logs of all update, virus, Site filter, and Personal Firewall activity. These logs can be viewed from the View Logs screen and provide a valuable source of information.
In addition to displaying the date and the time of each recorded log, the various log types provide log-specific information:

Update log entries also contain: the time the virus was detected; what file(s) were downloaded and installed from Trend Micro; the status--Success or Failure--of the download.
