DTAM134 - McAfee VirusScan Buffer Overflow Protection Reports Settings log file size must be restricted, but be configured to at least 10MB - dwMaxLogSizeMB_Ent

Information

While logging is imperative to forensic analysis, logs could grow to the point of impacting disk space on the system. In order to avoid the risk of logs growing to the size of impacting the operating system, the log size will be restricted, but must also be large enough to retain forensic value.

Solution

Access the local VirusScan console by clicking Start->All Programs->McAfee->VirusScan Console.
In the console window, under Task, click Task->Buffer Overflow Protection, right-click, and select Properties.

Under the Reports tab, locate the 'Log file' label. Select the 'Limit the size of log file' option. For the 'Maximum log file size:', select a value of 10MB or more.

Click OK to Save..
