Create a shortcut on your desktop as a huge time saver as many of the files I had were not malware and continue to show up.

 

Use the size of the log files to compare. They shouldn’t grow or change by a huge amount. You could script something to check vs the previous days and email yourself the changes, but hopefully in the next few versions of Veeam some of this gets fine tuned a bit. I have many false positives, but I did actually find some ransomware files using this feature from about 8 years ago which was interesting.

Hey Scott, based off the Malware event he posted, his event is for Inline Entropy scans. When that is used, there is no Malware_Detection_Logs folder and subsequent log file. That is only used for File System Analysis scans.

 

Oh I misread that. Thanks
