I can't find 'em!
Thanks

Re: MSE Log files
Take a look at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Support (or similar, I don't have a Windows XP PC at hand).
You'll have to show hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer to see it.

Re: MSE Log files
The only log files I can find that have anything to do with MSE are install logs and they are in:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft Security Client
Does that help?

Re: MSE Log files
Tip, if running MSE and using CCleaner, untick it or logs will be deleted.

Thanks for the pointer, BigAlBigaldoc wrote:Y'all might want to have a read of this: MSE should have a scan log history - Microsoft Answers
I looked at the folder Hans identified but nothing made a lot of sense. (not unusual for me).
I was hoping there would be something like the Malwarebytes log file - which does contain pretty much everything asked for by the original poster at the link you provided.
I do find it frustrating not knowing how long MSE takes to run (I don't sit and watch it!) and how many files get checked.
Oh well, never mind.
Thanks
