View Detection History reports in Desktop Security for Windows

When Desktop Security for Windows blocks a website or a Real-Time Protection (RTP) detection happens, the event is logged and a report is created. Reports are stored up to the last 30 days. Desktop Security lets you view the reports in the app, download a Text file (.txt) of your report, or delete them to clear up space.
