• Location - Filter events by the path at which the malware was found

• Malware Name - Display only those events that reference a specific piece of malware

• Status - Filter events according to whether the attempted action was successful or not. Status options are 'Success' or 'Fail'

There are 4 types of filter. Each of these can be further refined by selecting or deselecting specific parameters.
