.log file ~ how to process?

I am have to process Norton log file and too bad it is in ".log" ~ Activity.log. I can open it as text from my program but I can't read it's date. It is unreadable in some sort of format. It can only be view from Norton AntiVirus program.
How am I suppose to process it since I can't get it's date?
Is there any method that I can use to read it?
I know that I can save it as activity.txt if I open Norton AntiVirus program, click Report and then click Print and then save as the text file. But this way, I have to send keystrokes from my program to the Norton but it is quite risky as sometimes it doesn't accept the keystroke.
Is there any other alternative that I can use..?
Please help...
Any suggestion, please?
Thanks a lot!
