The log file is hidden away in a menu that a casual user will hopefully never find. But for people who know the difference between R.A.M. and a Ram, I want that information. Thats why I bought Stiller's product. I guess the main reason I want the information is because scanners are only useful if the virus is already known or a close variant. But change detection gives me a shot at protecting myself from the vast unknown number of viruses.
