Name of the current database. Should ideally be one word without any special characters. Name of the logfile, relative to the main F-Check directory. If this box is checked F-Check will only check for changes in files that are of a known type, otherwise it will check for changes in all files in the database. If this box is checked then no results will be written to the logfile. If this box is checked then the ôCheck databaseö and ôFind new filesö operations will not display individual warnings for every change they encounter û instead they will only write them to the logfile. May be desireable if you are getting an excessive number of warnings and would rather output the results to a logfile rather then handle each warning individually. The Fast method only checks the parts of individual objects that are most likely to have been changed if a virus has infected them while Safe checks the whole object.
