Confused re threat detection pop up
« on: August 01, 2011, 05:57:05 PM »
I've just had my first 'threat detection' pop up. I thought I would find the details in my Virus Chest. But it's empty. Is this normal???

right click avast tray icon and "show last pop-up" then click the pin in top right corner so it will stay on the screen

take a screen shot and attach it here

lower left corner > additional options > attach

as it say " Malicious URL blocked" avast! network shield has blocked a harmful site.....before anything could happen, so there should not be anything on in the chest
