I'm assuming you are using Windows embedded Firewall correct?

Click Start button > Control Panel > Windows Firewall > Advanced > Security Logging > Settings > Log Settings > Save as. Right click the log's file name and Open.

Monitoring

It will be here, if its enabled.
The firewall does not clear malware it just stops it "talking" to your comp

Hi Fluid,
It looks like its set to dissabled, hence no entries.

Suggest you download and run Malwarebytes Free, Uncheck the trial option, and before you run the scan, goto settings and check Rootkits.

That is not going to happen. As already mentioned, the firewall does not remove malware. According to another post of yours, you are using AVAST as your antivirus app. If you had AVAST installed when these 2 malware items were removed, then AVAST probably has a log of what it removed. I don't use AVAST, so I'm not sure where to tell you to look for that log. There is probably a help button in the AVAST window that might tell you how to find the log files.

You should update your system specs on this forum.
