So, when Symantec's Anti-Virus program — which has been around for, what, 75 years? — lists the viruses it's found, it gives you the three key pieces of information: The name of the infected file, the virus, and the action Symantec took to fix the problem.
Unfortunately, there's not enough room in the window to list everything. And it's an un-resizable window with no horizontal scroll bar. And, no, hovering doesn't work. Another couple of decades and maybe Symantec will get this right. Posted

I don't know if it will work for this dialog, but I've had some success with this technique: try resizing the right column's edge (sizer) beyond the size of the grid. A horizontal scrollbar *should* appear. Yes, this is a lousy interface.

Actually, I want to know, *what the date/time creation is of the file* which would help me understand where the infection came from!
And yes, the interface sucks badly.

Just double click the black column markers to expand the text.
