Using the VShield Scanner Choosing Report options The Internet Filter module records how many Java and ActiveX objects it scanned, and how many it blocked from access to your computer in a log file called WEBFLTR.TXT. The same file records the number of Internet sites you visited while the module was active, and how many dangerous sites the program kept your browser from visiting. You can have the module write its log to its default file, or you can use any text editor to create a text file for it to use. You can then open and print the log file for later review from any text editor. Use the Report property page to designate the file you want to serve as the Internet Filter log, and to determine that file's permissible size. The WEBFLTR.TXT file can serve as an important management tool for you to track malicious software activity on your system and to note which settings you used to detect and block the harmful objects or sites that the module found. To set the Internet Filter module to record its actions in a log file, follow these steps: 1. Click the Report tab in the Internet Filter module to display the correct property page (Figure 4-38).
