I got a Threat Blocked popup, but cannot find any info about what it did.
I grepped around the avast directory in Program Data and didn't find anything, nothing in virus chest.
Really? as everyone can see I already said that I looked for it.
Care to explain what magical hidden file that would be Eddy?

If this is as I believe a behaviour shield alert then there may not be log for detections. But we don't have any clear indication that this is the behaviour shield at work.

As I mentioned in Reply #11, there is no option to generate a log (but one appears to have been created).
That said there is this file C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\report\BehaviorShield.txt, but for me all that records for me is the started and stopped times for the behaviour shield.  This could well be that I have not had a behaviour shield alert on this win10 laptop, but the Report folder is generally where the generated file is saved.

Right, thanks. That was my take on that file too, start and stop times, nothing useful. :)
I was hoping someone knew more.

IDP detections come from the Behaviour Shield. However, what it is blocking isn't very clear since the path can not be clearly seen.

If there's nothing in the logs, I doubt you will find out what it is.
