This section show those errors posted by programmes into the computer's log files. These errors often require manual attention to rectify. On an NT( NT4/2000/XP/2003/...) type computer there are Application, Security and System log files. There may also be additional logs, such as Directory Service. These files can grow quite large and frequently the same errors repeat at regular intervals. To this end, only the twenty five (25) most recent unique entries are shown. These entries are reported in reverse chronological order with duplicates being ignored.
A maximum of 5000 entries are read in the event log to discover those that are errors. Purging these logs necessarily means that no errors can be reported. Requires Windows® NT4 or above.
Accessing the security log may require special privileges depending on the security policy in effect.
 Time Generated

Log File
The name of the event log file from which this record was taken, e.g. Application.
Source Name
The name of the programme which generated the audit entry.
Description
A textual, and sometimes cryptic, description of the information contained in the log. WinAudit will only attempt to resolve those parts of the description that reside on the local machine.
