Here are some possible locations :
C:\Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Avast Software\Avast\Log
C:\ProgramData\Avast Software\Avast\Log. Some may also be in the respective \Report folder.
C:\Users\All Users\AVAST Software\Avast\log

Post by: DavidR on February 12, 2017, 03:01:52 PM: The file you actually want is C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\report\WebShield.txt, this is where the web shield alerts are retained.

See image extract of the web shield report file.

Well we used to have a Real Time Stats section, but that was withdrawn for a redesign, made a brief return only to be withdrawn again. I felt that the redesign offered even less information than the original.

It would be nice if there was at least a shortcut to the report file or do something like the AvastUI > Protection > Antivirus. That however, would take a major redesign rather than just pointing to the report file.
