Avast uses the standard syslog interface, so you can see the Avast log messages using the Console application like any other log messages.

In short, open Terminal.app

Type (without quotes): "cd /var/log" and hit the return key to change to the log directory inside of the var directory.

Type (without quotes): "cat system.log" and hit the return key to print the file system.log to the screen.
