About Log Book

The Log Book keeps track of the events that Symantec products perform on your computer. The tabs across the top of the Log Book dialog box change depending on the loggable Symantec products you have installed on your computer.

To view a particular product’s event list, click its tab. If only the All tab appears, there are no events listed in the Log Book.

Deleting events from the Log Book

The Log Book deletes events based on the choices you made in Log Book Settings. The default setting is to remove all log events after thirty days.

To delete events from the Log Book

Select the event in the list and click Delete.

To delete more than one event at a time, hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and select the events you would like to delete.

Note

This permanently removes the event from the Log Book. You cannot undo an event after you delete it from the Log Book.

Undoing events in the Log Book

If a software update or hardware driver you installed using LiveUpdate Pro does not function properly or if a scan corrected an error on your computer that caused other problems, you can undo the event as long as it is undoable.

To undo events in the Log Book

Select the event you want to undo and click Undo.

Depending on what type of event you selected, the Log Book either uninstalls an update, reverses a scan fix, and so on. If this does not correct the problem, undo other events until the problem is corrected.

Note

Many events are not undoable. Only the events that have Yes in the Undoable column can be undone.
