In-depth scan changes ?

[Tio 0]

Hello, i've done in-depth scan, and in the scan log only shows the objects that were unable to open(in ornage) , it used to show every scanned object, the one with black. Is it a new feature or something wrong with me eset ?

Logging of all scanned files is disabled by default and can be enabled in the advanced on-demand scanner ThreatSense setup. We do not recommend doing so as it would generate huge scan logs on the disk.

I see, was this changed recently by the update ?

It has been so since the on-demand scanner was first implemented in NOD32 v1.

Because couple of months ago, I could see the other scanned objects, not just the one that are unable to open and I haven't touched any of the settings, so was wondering what could have done that 😕

You must have enabled this setting in the on-demand scanner setup. It's disabled by default and has always been:

Could you please navigate me where exactly is this ? 

And is it normal for potentially unsafe app's to be off ?

1. Enable Advanced setup.

2. Select Malware scans.

3. Expand ThreatSense settings.

4. Scroll down to the Other settings section.

It must be optionally enabled at Eset installation time, otherwise it remains off. You can set both settings for it to Balanced.

Oh so it comes as a default option ? Do you think its fine if I leave it as it is ?
As for the log all objects - its also fine to leave it as it is ? As far as I understood, this juts makes it run smoother and faster, not that it doesn't scan it.

For enhanced security protection, the option should be enabled.

This has been already answered. It will cause the scan log files to be very large resulting in wasted disk space.
