Where should I be looking for the log file that shows the exact info that pops up on the console when I do a system file scan? A scan found a virus, but then sped past on the console and now I can't figure out what virus it found.

Thanks,
Gordon

It has a bunch of information about bogus zip files, and then the name and locations of several viruses.
