A vital feature of NOD32 system is the generation of log files. Unless properly managed, the log files would eventually take up too much space. To prevent this from happening, logs in the NOD32 system have a defined lifetime. This can be set in the Log Maintenance Tab. It is recommended to keep the 30-day log lifetime.

The Log Lifetime group contains two check-boxes. The upper one pertains to general log events, such as updates, upgrades, and virus detections by the on-access scanner (AMON). The lower check-box deals with on-demand scanner logs only.

The Maintenance group is used to set parameters for the defragmentation procedures of various log files. It is not recommended to change the default settings.

To trigger defragmentation manually, click the Defragment button.
