With this guide, you can debug various components of G DATA Security Client (Windows).

1

Download the DebugView tool and create the necessary keys according to the table: DebugView.

If you have set a registry key for debugging the AVKProxy or AVKScanP processes, the computer must be rebooted once. For the AVKClient, InternetUpdate and Exchange services/processes, restarting the corresponding service/process is sufficient.

2

Open the DebugView tool.

3

In the menu bar under Capture, activate the Capture Global Win32 option.

4

In the DebugView, change the display from milliseconds to time (CTRL-T).

For longer logs, additionally have the outputs written directly to a file (File > LogToFile). Choose a path with sufficient storage space.

5

To debug, reproduce your problem now. If you want to debug a function or service, restart it(s) now.

6

If the necessary data is included, then save the DebugView log via File > Save.

After saving the log, set the DebugLevel to 0 or remove the entire DebugLevel entry.
