How to see what files are currently being scanned?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Hi, in an old version of Avast, I was able to bring up a kind of real-time log window, showing what files avast is currently scanning. Is there a way to do this in the current version?

Many thanks!

Open the GUI → Real-Time Shields → File-Shield: there you can see the last scanned file. You can look at each shield which file is last scanned.

nope guys, the OP’s question makes sense - and on a side note he’s probably noticed what went on in the UI ;D - … the UI doesn’t tell what’s being scanned in real time, but which file was last scanned while it’s already scanning the next one.

Thanks logos. :slight_smile: Yes, in an older version of Avast, there was the option to see a continuous display of all the files it touches as it happens. Sadly this option seems to have disappeared. :cry: Thanks anyway.
