Where are Web Shield logs?
« on: April 28, 2015, 02:11:27 PM »
I feel stupid today, because I just cannot find Web Shield logs in Avast Free 2015.

I could locate Web Shield log file on disk, WebShield.txt in C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\report, but I would like to see the logs in the Avast program window.

I checked my Scan History, which shows completed scans, but does not show the web pages detected by Web Shields.
Actually a suspicious web page with iframe-inf[gzip] was detected today by Web Shield.

@Eddy
Looks like you only read the  post title, not the entire post.
Still, it was just a few short sentences, so you might as well bother reading it, before replying.

Like I said, I already know the location of Web Shield log file *on disk*.
Like I said, on my PC I found it in C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\report

But what I am asking, again, is if and where I can see Web Shield logs in the Avast program, like you can see scan logs in the Scan History window.

Thanks Para-Noid, that would be a handy work around. :)

Anyway, I've also found, Last Scanned Items (in Avast - Statistics- Your Stats) shows last scanned web pages too, in the same window where it shows last files scanned by File System Shield.
Too bad the list only includes the last 5 scanned items.

Hello, can you explain the meaning of the last words in this log entry?

What other options are there? Is it also possible to configure Web-Shield for a more detailed log?

I wanted to know in general what kind of hazards can save Web-Shield, and that it writes to the log for subsequent parsing / automation of administration.
I would not write here if I could find the right manual :'(

@Atr,
It's never a good idea to open old threads.
If you need help, please start your own topic. Your current questions have nothing to do with
where log's are located.
