Software update: LogViewPlus 2.4.18

LogViewPlus is a program that allows you to view log files under Windows in an easy and clear way analyzed. It can display multiple log files in one screen, open log files directly on a server and display them in real time (tail). Furthermore, there is syntax highlighting, filters can be created and there are extensive search options. A personal license costs $45 a year, but can be used on multiple machines.
