Just an update on this issue in case it helps someone else. As a first step I uninstalled eset and after restarting the PC I had full access to the ProgramData directory again. I downloaded a fresh copy of eset, installed it as admin, and this time everything seems good, it did not block access to the ProgramData directory this time around, which means logs are able to be written and viewed.

I've since discovered that I don't have permission to access where the Eset logs are stored in ProgramData. Let me figure out that issue first, and then I'll post the logs. Do you need all the Windows Logs as well or just the Eset logs shown? I'm not sure if this issue started before or after installing Eset, so uninstalling temporarily might be one step.

I just set up the 30 day trial before switching from my old AV program, Essential version. The initial scan ran and quarantined 2 files, so I was able to see at least a bit what happened there and restore them. But there was no log generated for the scan. The scan ran uninterrupted until it completed. I then ran another scan today on just 1 drive to test it and again, no log file was created. The window where logs are shown is completely blank. Is there some setting I've got wrong, or a way to fix this? Everything else so far looks great and options are what I want, but I definitely need logs.
