The User / Windows Account used
The Application Name (i.e. the filename itself, for example, Firefox will be firefox.exe)
The "Windows Caption" (i.e. the name that shows up in the Windows Taskbar, for example, firefox.exe will say "Mozilla Firefox")
Whether the opened application triggered a violation
