You can't, the log viewer is just a text file containing information about detections, errors, etc. it doesn't contain the file.

Please expand your question, what happened, what is the file name, etc. why would you want to move it to the chest, etc. ?

signs of a Trojan were found in two files. funny thing is, there were found in a setup.exe file for a game that was uninstalled a few years ago. my HDD has also been reformatted twice since then. i tried to follow the path but it doesn't exist.

What was the path, it should be given in the log viewer ?
Is it possible that the file might be hidden, explorer, Tools, Folder Options, View, see image.

If the file is there, after you follow David's suggestions, right click the 'a' blue icon and open avast Chest.
On User folder of files, right click the Chest and choose Add, browse to the file and add it.
Remember, the file will stay in both places, you need to manually delete the one that it's not on the Chest.

I need my head felt, if avast detected it and you chose to send it to the chest or worse delete it then it won't be in the original location.
What action did you choose when it was detected ?

Well it should be in its original location, so my previous post stands, but it would be worth checking in the chest (infected files section), just to confirm.

Sign of "Win32:VB-FXE [trj]" has been found in "C:\Documents and Settings\Alyssa.JOHN-FLP1O75RLY\My Documents\Downloads\Detective Barbie In the Mystery of the Carnival Caper iSO.zip\Setup.exe" file.

can you find this file, Detective Barbie In the Mystery of the Carnival Caper iSO.zip, because the detection on setup.exe is inside a zip file. So if you were looking for setup.exe you wouldn't find it.

Are you able to get as far as the My Documents\Downloads folder, then try and find the Detective Barbie In the Mystery of the Carnival Caper iSO.zip file.

Detective Barbie In the Mystery of the Carnival Caper iSO.zip does not exist. why would it log it?

Because that is where it supposedly found the setup.exe inside it.

Are you looking in the right my documents folder as these are account specific, e.g. is the Alyssa.JOHN-FLP1O75RLY the account you log on to ?
