Threat blocked popup
« on: May 23, 2017, 01:47:23 PM »
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.

So, program does something but doesn't record it?
Or doesn't do anything, but tells you it did, and provides no way to check?

It detected something and handled it, told you what it did and also recorded it (log).

No it didn't, as far as I can tell.
That is the whole reason for this thread.

Yes it did, look at the image you posted and read what is on it.
It clearly says DETECTED and BLOCKED.

and it is clearly hiding something that I want to know, and THERE IS NO LOG

p.s. I DON'T CARE WHAT IT SAYS, I want to see what it did.

The text on the image very clearly is telling you what it did.
avast blocked a thread, there isn't anything more to see.

There is a log unless you disabled the creation of log files.

@ Eddy
Given that the attached image is showing an IDP.ALEXA.51 detection, I would suspect that the IDP. part would indicate that this is the Behaviour Shield at work.

There are very few settings for the Behaviour Shield (attached image) and none indicating the Generation of a Report File (log), unlike the settings in File System Shield that has a Report File section in its settings.

The text very clearly says c:\... which is not a valid path, so no, it is not telling me AT ALL what it did, only giving a vague idea that something happened, somewhere.

Really? as everyone can see I already said that I looked for it.
Care to explain what magical hidden file that would be Eddy?
