To view detailed information related to specific malware detection event, do one of the following:

  • In the working area, double-click the necessary malware detection event.
  • Select the malware detection event and click Details on the ribbon or right-click the session and select Details.

Starting from Veeam Backup & Replication  12.1.1 (build 12.1.1.56), details of the events created during the guest indexing data scan also include the following information:

  • Paths to the log files that contain the list of detected suspicious files and extensions.
  • Paths to the log files that contain the list of multiple files deleted by malware.

In the Event Details window, you can also add detected suspicious files and extensions to the trusted list and ignore them during the next guest indexing data scans. To do this, click Exclude these extensions from monitoring. For more information on how to manage the list of suspicious files and extensions, see Managing List of Suspicious Files and Extensions.
