“Avast! File System Shield has blocked a threat” PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU!

Need to locate the POPUP history for this matter PLEASE.

Avast blocked the threat, THANK YOU AVAST!.

However, I need to see the history of these POPUP ALERTS.

This will help me to take further action.

Log files should be in the C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log directory (depending on your OS version). You may also right click on the Avast icon in the Notification Area and choose “Show last popup message” to see that information.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi dbrisendine,

I’m using Win7 x64 Ult. SP1.

Okay, now I think I see where this information might be?

I believe this might be it? (THANKS!)

C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\report\FileSystemShield.txt

Hmm, this is definitely not for the fainthearted.

The delete order makes me a bit nervous.

I guessing the delete order already deleted the file it appears to be missing?

I don’t see it in the trash can nor in the Virus Chest?

Where could it be?

Thanks!

The first one in your log lines is most likely contained in the zip file and only the temporary copy (that was extracted for the scanning process) was flagged. The reported file has been deleted and the only copy would be in the zip archive (OWIQ.zip file).

I would suggest that you get some second opinions on some of these files; VirusTotal.com is a great resource for that purpose.

Thanks!

You really have open my eyes to the extinct that Avast goes to provide us with a growing foundation of security awareness.

This forum is most valuable.

VirusTotal is amazing resource that I appreciate you sharing with me. Apparently Google acquired it; however, it remains independent from Google.

It’s really nice too see that Avast seems to catching more malware, potentially unwanted programs(PUP), and its reporting on questionable software than that of the endless dozens of other Anti-Malware programs.

Thank again!
