I can`t find log of Microsoft Safety Scanner vers. 1.0.3001.0

Hello, I am new here, I just scan my computer with Microsoft Safety Scanner vers. 1.0.3001.0, and of the final, it just deleted what it found, but no logo about what files was infected, I try to find online information, I try to find out the Debug file in Windows file, but I don`t have any file named Debug, I use Windows 7 Ultimate x64, so how can I see what files was infected and deleted, thank you. P.S. My english isn`t my first language, so bear with me :)

Hi Lifetolive,

logs can be found following these instructions

1. Click Start (the ORB), then enter Run.
2. Type the following command: %systemroot%\debug. Click OK.
   
   1. Note: %systemroot% is the path and the folder name where the Windows system files are located. Typically, this is C:\Windows, although you can designate a different drive or folder when you install Windows.
   
   
3. Double click the file named >> msert <<. Notepad will open.
4. In the new Notepad window, scroll until you find the error(s). They will usually start with 0x.

I try it already, I try to find this msert ... I can find just other files debug for other programs, also I check it ... No log for msert.

Hi

Silly question time

How long did the program run for, not used itmyself but would expect a minimum of 5 minutes.
Anything less then i suspect it did not complete, so no log would be produced.

There are other detection tools avalable, have you tried Malwarebytes free??

Around 10 hours, I have 1 tera hdd, No error, works ok. But no log, no debug folder, no nothing, just show me what kind of virus, and announce that it removed those viruses. I don`t need other tool, I just want to know what was infected, wich files.

Hi

WOW thats really long.

If we cant find it using this method, then i've no idea where its hiding

From control panel >> folder view >> check show hidden files

Now
from computer >> select your windows drive.
have a look in these 3 folders
Appdata
programs
programs (x86)

any trace of the tool.

Do you know how msert works ? Its useless to look in programs, because is not an install app, its just a tool ... So your points, doesn`t help me, I try this things already
